Using @Mentimeter with @andrewdouch and #CDUniStaff Talking about how to engage learners?

@Mentimeter @andrewdouch Don’t need to compete with games, but look at what’s missing for young people? Often crave human interaction.

Watch reality TV at home and invited to participate through voting. Increased participation increases interest & investment.

Computer games give instant feedback, craving for likes (feedback) on selfies. How do we give feedback as educators?

Value of knowledge & memory falling - can ask Siri - need to rethink what & how we teach

Changing needs of employers

So much of life being automated, including algebra through apps 😀Need to teach what can’t be automated

Educators often think tech is too hard, don’t have time, too busy - yet other industries rely on it - with great success.

Anytime entertainment

Anytime learning. Use class time for what needs individual attention.

Good advice from @andrewdouch Thanks for sharing your insights with #CDUniStaff
