Have you ever attended a meeting where you had a hard time staying focused?  Maybe there was a lot of sit and get, and not enough application and engagement.  Our students may have the same problems during a lesson in the classroom.   During this session, we will explore multiple opportunities to turn your classroom into an engaging learning experience.  We will investigate different learning strategies, as well as captivating technology resources to keep your students involved in the learning process.

Today we will focus on discussion of what exactly student engagement is the classroom looks like, and what it isn't. We'll explore our MGSD M-Powerment resources related to M-10  (Motivation) to see what the research says about student engagement and what digital tools that might help us incorporate more engagement into our classrooms. Finally, we'll do some hands-on activities about what we can expect to see in a truly engaged classroom.

To wrap up our Deep Dive, we'll work on creating a product from our learning. Whether it's creating a tracker to organize resources you want to use this school year, updating a lesson or project to be more engaging, or creating your own resource, we'll share our work to give peer feedback.
