However, be skeptical of prescriptive advice about what you SHOULD do in the classroom. * Leverage the power of storytelling in the classroom. Stories are engaging and memorable.* Seek the ideal level of confidence in the classroom with a growth mindset.* Go multi-media.* Embrace technology.5 BENEFITS of EDUCATIONAL-TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS * A shift in focus from education being teacher-centric to being student-centric.* Improved communication and collaboration amongst key stakeholders: students, teachers, parents and administrators.* Teachers spend more time interacting with students, less time on preparation and administrative duties.* Enables accessibility and immediacy of information and feedback regarding students’ progress. It’s like getting a report card every day. More importantly, access to this information can prevent late diagnoses of learning disabilities. And when the information is data, data analytics can be leveraged.* Ed-tech platforms encourage students to learn how to learn. Students have access to a familiar, private, social media-like system. Guided by their teachers, they can learn to explore what’s on the platform and beyond, and then become life-long learners.REFERENCESChris Besse & Edsby* Chris on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-besse-24b03b11/* Edsby – https://www.edsby.com/ Andrea Wojnicki & Chris Besse at “THE FUTURE OF LEARNING” Ensemble Conference, October 2020 Other Resources for Educators* “THE FUTURE OF LEARNING” Ensemble online conference:* video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJXimdr3bT0* website – https://www.ensembleco.com/volume-13* Mistakes of new teachers – http://ajjuliani.com/15-mistakes-new-teachers-make-learned/* Benefits of multi-media – https://www.nuiteq.com/company/blog/5-benefits-of-multimedia-learning#* Confidence vs arrogance – https://talkabouttalk.com/what-is-confidence-blog/* Parenting teens and online learning with learning strategist Kimberley Acres – https://talkabouttalk.com/49-parenting-teens-podcast/Talk About Talk & Dr. Andrea Wojnicki
