"Your Guide To Selecting the Right Tools for Your Classroom Would you rather attend daily staff meetings than attempt to choose a new educational technology tool from the immense collection that you could potentially choose from? Does the long list of options make you feel more nervous than that time that your principal did a surprise observation when you hadn't planned a lesson? Do you feel like it might be easier to just ignore the EdTech options, close your classroom door, and do what you've always done? This feeling, the "paradox of choice," often keeps educators from integrating *any* new educational technology tools in their practice. EdTech expert Jake Miller will share how Educational Duct Tape can help you overcome this paradox, select the right edtech tools for your classroom, and start using them tomorrow! This book is for educators who want to give their students the best learning experience they can, but don't want to spend their nights and weekends learning every new EdTech tool. It's also for teachers who would rather accompany their learning with fun anecdote-induced laughter than educational jargon-induced headaches. While helping you develop your EdTech Integration Mindset, Jake will also help you select the right tools for your classroom. This book features comparisons of tools for formative assessment, student blogging, student self-assessment, screencasting, rich methods of assessment, audio tools, video tools, animation tools, infographic and visual design tools, student-paced coursework, and lesson delivery tools. And, if that list overwhelms you, don't worry: Jake also provides a collection of videos and resources to help you learn to use the tool (or tools) that you choose for your teaching tool fanny pack (or, you know, tool belt)"-- Provided by publisher.
