Videos by education experts that talk about pedagogy, the future of education, and inspiring students. 

"Good teaching is the result of the conscious engagement between the teacher and the students, in an environment fostering inquiry, discovery, and creation. Good teaching is what makes digital age environments meaningful to students. Good pedagogy is the key to learning, regardless of the tool."

"Kahoot! empowers educators and captivates learners. Through the creation of a trusted learning space, educational content is delivered by asking meaningful questions in real-time, creating a social, fun and game-like environment. Kahoot! flips the classroom with a pedagogy based on encouraging a loop from 'learner to leader' within the learning space, which maximizes the precious learning time spent in the classroom and empowers learners to lead."

"Funded by The National Science Foundation, CueThink is an innovative application and a pedagogy focused on improving critical thinking skills and math collaboration for students in grades 2-12. Our mission is to foster a growth mindset and empower students to see challenges as opportunities."

"Students created a professional development resource relating to a technology tool of their choosing. Alternatively, students could also create a professional development resource that uses multiple tools to address a specific skill covered in the course. The product was organized so the various tools worked together toward a common goal rather than be just a collection of tools."

I once heard class discussions described as "transient instructional events." They pass through the class, the course, and the educational experiences of students with few lingering effects. Ideas are batted around, often with forced participation; students don't take notes; and then the discussion ends-it runs out of steam or the class runs out of time. If asked a few days later about the exchange, most students would be hard-pressed to remember anything beyond what they themselves might have said, if that.
