As educators, we need to constantly review our thoughts and our ways of doing things. We need to exchange our mistakes and success with each other to improve learning for the benefit of the children who have been entrusted to our care. There is no "My Way!" in education.

"Learning in Motion" at The Common Core Boot Camp features 30 dynamic workshops. I am privileged to be one of the facilitators.

For students to learn, two essential conditions need to be met. A high attention span and a meaningful input. But the challenge for every teacher is how to create high attention span and meaningful input situations for a class full of diverse students taking several different subjects each day. Why do people have a high attention span in other situations such as when playing a game whether that game is electronic or physical? I am not jumping on the gamification bandwagon but I am simply investigating what peaks our attention and what meaningful input is. I think can say without a shred of doubt that every game has structure but provides many variables and the player has the power of making decisions and choices during the game (the experience in other words). How does that relate to learning in the classroom? As teachers, we need to create learning experiences that are structured but comes with variables - much like a game. This provides students with the opportunity to make choices and decisions during the learning experience. [Disclaimer: No AI was used to write this, just good old gray matter.]
