Recorded SessionContent and engagement: We will discuss how teachers might function as educational designers - and how this puts equitable instruction up front and center. This requires teachers to cultivate an educational designer’s mindset which in turn enables them to design equitable integration of technology. We will facilitate teachers’ exploration of how technology can be used for differentiated instruction given the affordances and constraints of different digital tools.
Engagement: We will invite teachers to reflect on their roles as educational designers and the technology choices they make for teaching, student learning, and student engagement. We will ask them to analyze the tools they use and in what ways they foster - or do not foster - equitable integration of technology.
Time:
5 minutes- Welcome, introductions, share goals for the session and intended outcomes
2 minutes- Participants silently reflect on how they design instruction/curriculum, how they choose various technology tools to use, and how they use them for teaching and learning.
2 minutes - Participants will complete some poll questions about how they design instruction (including differentiated instruction) and how they choose and use technology tools for teaching and learning. They will also explore how they design to make learning more equitable.
15 minutes- Presenters will introduce what is differentiated instruction (briefly), how teachers function as educational designers, and how they can design differentiated learning experiences to ensure greater equity by considering the affordances and constraints of various technologies.
20 minutes- Participants will work with others to examine how functioning as an educational designer allows them to ensure greater equity by considering the affordances and constraints of various technologies.
10 minutes- Wrap up, debrief on experience.
