To add a little more to the mix, not all students learn in the same way. Taking all of a learner\u2019s differences into account can present many challenges for the teacher:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How can the teacher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.graduateprogram.org\/2021\/05\/leadership-meeting-students-academic-and-emotional-needs-simultaneously\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meet students&#8217; needs<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>How can the teacher consistently incorporate all the different types of learning into the classroom?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is a never-ending cycle of questions that we have all said to ourselves in some way, shape, or form. As educators and lifelong learners, it is essential to keep engaged students through various student engagement strategies and techniques, but how do you do this consistently and well?<\/p>\n<h2>How did Remote and Hybrid Learning Impact Student Engagement?<\/h2>\n<p>Remote and hybrid learning had a severe impact on student engagement. It was a new way for students to learn, but it was also a new way for teachers to teach. In observations and informal assessments I made during remote learning and in talking to fellow educators about their experiences, student engagement was incredibly challenging.<\/p>\n<p>The initial shift to remote learning presented challenges, but it also fast-tracked the adoption of digital tools that are now standard in blended learning models. Many of the creative strategies teachers developed, like virtual one-on-ones, have been permanently integrated into blended and flipped classroom designs.<\/p>\n<p>The adaptation of virtual tools for SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) check-ins, office hours, and collaborative projects, using platforms like Zoom or Google Meet, have become essential components of the modern classroom&#8217;s blended approach.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Student Engagement Important?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.graduateprogram.org\/2019\/12\/boost-student-engagement-with-culturally-responsive-lessons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Student engagement<\/a> is vital because you need students engaged to have meaningful learning experiences. Students tend to lose focus when a lesson is boring or less engaging. On the flip side, their focus is much more significant when students are actively engaged.<\/p>\n<h3>Community<\/h3>\n<p>Student engagement is important in building a sense of community within the classroom. When student learning takes place through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachhub.com\/classroom-management\/2020\/09\/benefits-of-group-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group projects<\/a> and discussion, it creates better communication skills with their peers and with you and other teachers.<\/p>\n<p>When students build that sense of community, it generally creates a more positive and impactful learning environment. Not only does it create a better learning experience for the students, but it gives them many life skills that will help impact their success in the future.<\/p>\n<h3>Creative Projects<\/h3>\n<p>Knowing your students and what they enjoy is also important. This will help build that classroom community and help to build the student\u2019s confidence. Give options on class projects such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating a short-form video (like a TikTok or Instagram Reel)<\/li>\n<li>Making a three-dimensional model<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachhub.com\/teaching-strategies\/2021\/10\/crafting-short-horror-stories-to-promote-creative-writing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Writing a creative story<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Creating something on <a href=\"https:\/\/scratch.mit.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scratch<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This also makes teachable moments where the students can show off their talents and help teach others that might be interested.<\/p>\n<h2>Ways to Use Technology to Increase Student Engagement<\/h2>\n<p>There are numerous benefits to technology in the classroom, and there are so many different options of websites and apps that individualize the learning experience for each student. As a teacher, you get pulled in so many directions and stretched thin so often that it becomes overwhelming trying to keep up with your students&#8217; individual needs. With your students using technology in the classroom, it can make this a little easier.<\/p>\n<p>Utilizing technology in the classroom can also support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u_rmUkj9g0k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">various learning styles<\/a> and increase student engagement. Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic\/tactile learners fill the classrooms in our schools, and each type of learner thrives with different types of assignments.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to ways to use technology in the classroom to increase student engagement.<\/p>\n<h3>Interactive Programs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobymax.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MobyMax<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/map-accelerator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NWEA Skills Accelerator<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prodigygame.com\/main-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prodigy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/freckle.com\/en-us\/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=freckle_brand&amp;utm_content=freckle&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=Freckle_00_Brand&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwg_iTBhDrARIsAD3Ib5hNDg7skd5kaetW7FlIoorueZscZNCBhueb9oUW0SVJ46Rqli1qxmQaAuuMEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freckle<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all programs that will challenge each student on their individual needs. These adaptive learning platforms will allow students to learn at their own pace while filling in gaps and accelerating those already on grade level. If you use a math workshop model in your classroom, you can use one of these programs for the technology piece.<\/p>\n<p>Through data studies that I and the other instructional coaches in our district have done, we have observed that consistent use of these types of programs can positively impact not just student achievement but also student engagement and student buy-in.<\/p>\n<h3>Engaging Websites<\/h3>\n<p>There are so many websites that can help meet student needs, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainpop.com\/discover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BrainPOP<\/a> (for interactive video lessons)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Khan Academy<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixl.com\/?partner=google&amp;campaign=71585968&amp;adGroup=127340411978&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=71585968&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwmYzIBhC6ARIsAHA3IkQKPwlAsGejVkAIr2E3XsMYpZIj9leTP5KJRbhH9s7gKj0bH9tnBUUaAgd6EALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IXL<\/a> (for personalized practice)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/edpuzzle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edpuzzle<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Loom<\/a> (for video creation and interactive content)<\/li>\n<li>Other brain break videos (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gonoodle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GoNoodle<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/ed.ted.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TED-Ed<\/a> for short, engaging content)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hands-On Tech<\/h3>\n<p>Smartboards, document cameras, and Chromebooks make engaging students easier using that technology component. If your school is lucky enough to have <a href=\"https:\/\/ozobot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ozobots<\/a>, VR Goggles, or other cool STEM gear, it can be a great hands-on learning experience for the students.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.graduateprogram.org\/2020\/01\/what-technology-can-improve-in-the-classroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Classroom technology<\/a> can help streamline operations and routines which is beneficial for student engagement. Having routines set in place is imperative to running a successful classroom. This also increases student engagement as the students know and understand the expectations of different routines. For example, suppose you are working in small groups in ELA and have one station including technology. In that case, it gives students a nice \u201cbreak\u201d to work on assignments most beneficial to their individual progress.<\/p>\n<h3>Virtual Meetings<\/h3>\n<p>As educators and students alike struggled through much of the pandemic, we all did take away the value of video meetings. You can take your knowledge of video meetings and use a program such as Zoom, Google Meets, or Skype to form relationships with classrooms similar to yours anywhere in the world you choose! This can provide students with a great deal of cultural experience while increasing student engagement with a cool, unique type of \u201cpen pal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Student Blogs<\/h3>\n<p>It is important to relate learning in school to the real world and real-life experiences. Having students turn in writing assignments as blogs can help to motivate and engage students. This creates that ownership of their work, and making it published adds another cool twist to the assignment.<\/p>\n<p>Technology is ever-evolving and has the potential to bring us places we could have never imagined. Students have grown up with technology, and it keeps \u201cmoving and shaking,\u201d which presents many opportunities for our students to become more actively engaged.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/plato.stanford.edu\/entries\/dewey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Dewey<\/a> stated, \u201cIf we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.\u201d This is impactful as it tells us to embrace the new and \u201cgo with the flow,\u201d as it can significantly impact student engagement and success in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>You\u2019ve got important career goals \u2014 we have the graduate program to get you there.
