This interactive session addresses the growing challenge of student distraction in college classrooms by equipping educators with strategies to increase engagement and assessment through tools such as Canva Whiteboard, Slido, Padlet, Blooket, and Pear Deck. Additional resources, such as Nearpod, InsertLearning, Formative, Classkick, and Genially, will be introduced. This workshop will feature a mix of engaging technology demonstrations, live learning activities, and a group collaboration activity where participants will integrate the technological tools into real micro-lesson teaching scenarios, equipping them to engage disengaged students, assess students' learning, and reinforce the importance of creating student-centered lesson plans in the digital age.
***It will be helpful if attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop, Chromebook, or iPad for the interactive workshop component.***
Participants will: 1. Integrate engaging teaching technologies into their classroom. 2. Create formative assessments that assess student learning in a fun and unique way, utilizing interactive tools.
