* ANDREA’s CONCLUSION
SUMMARY
5 COMMUNICATION INSIGHTS FOR EDUCATORS
* How to interpret teaching advice: Accept teaching advice about what NOT to do (i.e. common teaching pitfalls) at face value. However, be skeptical of prescriptive advice about what you SHOULD do in the classroom.
* Leverage the power of storytelling in the classroom. Stories are engaging and memorable.
* Seek the ideal level of confidence in the classroom with a growth mindset.
* Go multi-media.
* Embrace technology.
5 BENEFITS of EDUCATIONAL-TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS
* A shift in focus from education being teacher-centric to being student-centric.
* Improved communication and collaboration amongst key stakeholders: students, teachers, parents and administrators.
* Teachers spend more time interacting with students, less time on preparation and administrative duties.
* Enables accessibility and immediacy of information and feedback regarding students’ progress. It’s like getting a report card every day. More importantly, access to this information can prevent late diagnoses of learning disabilities. And when the information is data, data analytics can be leveraged.
* Ed-tech platforms encourage students to learn how to learn. Students have access to a familiar, private, social media-like system. Guided by their teachers, they can learn to explore what’s on the platform and beyond, and then become life-long learners.
