What tools can I use to create a student-paced learning environment?

This infographic is titled #EduDuctTape Question, Chapter 9: What tools can I use to create a student-paced learning environment? It includes a picture of the Educational Duct Tape book along with the logos for the apps and sites that are included. The text of the body reads "Schoology - Organize assignments, materials, links, and resources into folders, then kick it up a notch with the use of their robust assessments tools, gradebook, and Student Completion Rules that’ll manage the entire process! Eduflow (formerly Peergrade) - Students complete sequential tasks including watching videos, submitting files, peer or self-review, and reflecting on feedback in this streamlined, freemium tool. You can even differentiate learning paths and see your students’ progress. Seesaw - Post a series of activities and assignments in this learning management system, digital portfolio, and teacher-parent-student communication hybrid. You can even include video and voice instructions, drawing activities, and more. Docs, Word, Slides, PowerPoint, Sheets, Excel. Google Sites - Use your existing Google account to create a free website and link (or even embed) all of your resources. Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams - Organize assignments sequentially in your LMS. You can even assign things only to the students who are ready for them. Wakelet - Easily add any content and rearrange it by dragging and dropping. Use images and text to break up units or assignments. Easily add video with Flipgrid Shorts."
We know from Daniel Pink’s work showcased in his book Drive that human beings are motivated by 3 principles: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. A student-paced learning environment leverages two of those–autonomy and purpose–to motivate students and, in the process, grow their responsibility, reduce behavior problems, and free you up to guide the learning and provide feedback.

This infographic showcases multiple tools that can be used to manage a student-paced learning environment.

Check out the infographic to see which one is the best fit for you!
