Recently, I shared a sketchnote about the Know Better, Do Better Cycle. My first “Know Better, Do Better” step was realizing that my teacher-paced course wasn’t working. So I turned it into a student-paced course. Then, as that sketchnote showcased, I discovered that I wasn’t noticing all students’ questions and struggles quickly enough. So, I added a Google Form.
This new sketchnote shows the next iteration of that cycle. I discovered that some of my students were stressed out by the idea of managing their own pace in my class. This sketchnote hints at my solution: a calendar.
The most important part, though, is the reminder on the left: Being impressive is not the goal. Being effective is.
Learn more about this quote as well as the Know Better, Do Better Cycle and the calendar solution in Chapter 11 of Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset.
