Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning from Static to Dynamic

Description

It's Time to Shake Up Learning! This isn't a book about technology, Google, silver bullets, or pie-in-the-sky thinking. This is a book about LEARNING! Technology is not a magic solution for education. It is an opportunity! An opportunity to shake things up, to connect and grow, and to create dynamic learning experiences for our students! In this three-part book, you will explore WHY it's time to Shake Up Learning, WHAT changes we can make in our classrooms to support dynamic learning experiences, and HOW to plan meaningful lessons for your classroom.

One thing is certain: Educators cannot continue the status quo if they expect to equip young people for the world to come. Teachers now find themselves trying to figure how to teach online.
