Education with Technology Harry G. Tuttle

We feel so good as we lecture. We know that we have prepared well. We know that we have good examples and visuals. We have interesting stories. We feel that the students are basking in our teaching. However, we do not know if the students are learning the goal. They may be able to parrot back to us the major points but can they paraphrase these points in their own words? Can they identify examples of it? Can they apply the learning in a mini-example? We can stop every 5-10 minutes and make sure that they can demonstrate their learning through the use of various technology. Each time we will raise the bar of what we want them to learn in terms of the higher level thinking skills for the learning. Each time we will have them demonstrate that can reach that new level. Then we can really feel good about their learning!
