Student discussion strengthens understanding of mathematical concepts.
North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT) faculty members Ms. Elizabeth Joyce and Dr. Mandy Taylor are part of an educational effort to lead the development of effective instructional approaches and content that teachers can use when schools must close for unforeseen disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this session, we will discover ways to differentiate in a digital environment. Strategies, scenarios, tips, tricks, and practices will be shared to increase student engagement. Participants will be given an opportunity to understand how differentiating with technology can help them create student personalized learning profiles. We will explore how to use technology to teach to different learning styles so that retention is easier. Technology will be used so that teachers can connect with every student, and build stronger relationships that promote learning.
