When I was teaching science one of the best lessons I learned was about formative assessment. Either way it gave valuable insight to how the students were learning but also could help shape the lesson for the next day. These provide a virtual corkboard for students to leave notes of questions or comments on their learning.

Well, technology has changed all that and regardless of your specific role you too can increase authentic engagement with your audience. Even in situations where technology might be tight, cooperative groups can be utilized to reflect and then share out. You can even integrate a Twitter hash tag.

Last week my school was fortunate to have the NJ School Boards Association (NJSBA) visit to produce a live event called Learn@Lunch: Technology as an Engagement Tool.

I could reflect back on the previous year, examine what I had learned over the summer and plan for a better year coming up. Either way it gave valuable insight to how the students were learning but also could help shape the lesson for the next day. The technology certainly helps but isn't always necessary.

I had the pleasure to attend and present at the Midwest Technology Conference in February. This conference was packed with experts sharing their knowledge with cool and exciting ways to integrate technology in the classroom. Fake twitter feeds. I co-presented two workshops this year.
