Satish Kumar. "Augmented reality in education". La realidad aumentada puede ser una buena vía para aumentar la atención de los estudiantes en las aulas. La RA puede mejorar el compromiso emocional del alumno, su retención de conocimiento e inspirar pensamientos divergentes. Además, puede ayudar a construir la curiosidad del estudiante, hacer que el aprendizaje sea divertido, permitirnos llevar al profesor a casa (no en sentido literal, mediante códigos QR o videoconferencias, por ejemplo) y también fomentar la participación de los padres. Este artículo supone una lectura imprescindible para toda la comunidad educativa: profesores, padres y alumnos.

Teacher actions can influence how students engage [with a course], making it relevant to understand their conceptions of student engagement and how to facilitate it,” Engagement is more than just sitting and looking attentive. I like how the focus is on what the teacher can do and examines the general beliefs and misconc ptions around engagement through the lens of research.

"What if you could design questions that engage students at this level in your classroom? What if you could do so without the burden of having to make the subject matter relevant or relatable to every single student? The secret to writing good questions or problems may surprise you. The key, according to Willingham, is to pose questions or problems that can be solved. That means questions or problems that are not too hard and not too easy, but just right. Think Goldilocks."

How do you teach students to write good questions (or how to ask good questions)? This post suggests that good questions have to be at the right level of difficulty and provides three tips that will help you and your students learn how to write good questions (and I suspect how to ask them as well). What are the three tips? 1. Shore up the students' prior knowledge 2. Lighten students' cognitive load 3. Un-situate students' learning Each of these tips is described in more detail int he post and some additional links are also provided. Teaching students how to question, either in writing or verbally, is a critical skill and this post provides some great ideas on ways to help students with the cognitive load so they are supported in the process. You might also want to check out the post Socrative Smackdown which has students learn discussion strategies, some of which are helpful with questions (and that is geared to students in grades 6 - 12).

The level of student engagement can vary from student to student, and lesson to lesson so it may be difficult to get a general feel for how engaged a class is as a whole. To that end, Schlechty (2002) also outlined three categories that can be used to measure the level of engagement for an entire classroom. The Engaged Classroom

With this strategy, teachers first organize the concepts and skills they want students to learn into learning units that typically involve about a week or two of instructional time. Following initial instruction on the unit, teachers administer a brief quiz or assessment based on the unit's learning goals. Instead of signifying the end of the unit, however, this assessment's purpose is to give students information, or “feedback,” on their learning. To emphasize this new purpose Bloom suggested calling it a formative assessment, meaning “to inform or provide information” (see Scriven, 1967). A formative assessment identifies for students precisely what they have learned well to that point, and what they need to learn better (Bloom, Hastings, & Madaus, 1971).
Remember Daniel Pink: Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose? This would be the MASTERY piece. When we teach and move along, pressured by the need to cover, we sabbotage engagement . For some kids, it feels disrespectful. Teaching for mastery is a must if learning is our goal.
