EduChallenge

There are so many things to know about teaching in the K-12 environment. Consider how each of you comes from a different background, has different interests, and possess different motivations for learning. It makes sense, then, that your students will, too.

Are you up for a challenge? Do you think you have what it takes to learn all you can about how to understand and incorporate learner differences into your teaching techniques? In groups of 4-5, take the EduChallenge and see how many categories you can review before the end of class. Don't forget to submit the EduChallenge Response Form for each category. The team completing the most pages by the end of class will earn GooJ passes for each member. If you missed class, you’ll need to complete at least 3 of the 5 categories and submit the form for each on your own.

For Thursday

  1. Read Chapter 2 in your text and complete the reading guide.
  2. Post a thought or phrase to describe an effective application of technology to support learning.
