"A higher DOK task may increase student engagement because the student is interested in overcoming the challenge, but higher DOK levels are not a silver bullet for engagement." 📗 Check out the 📕book on #StudentEngagement 👉 amzn.to/3VABbhg

Using Canvas in Google Gemini? You can share the creation directly using "Share via Drive." For example, I made this quick count the zeros activity buff.ly/esbotDp and I do not have to embed it into a website, I can just share directly. #GoogleEdu #TeacherTech

One of the biggest mistakes in math education has been the move away from practice and memorization. We're told memorization works against understanding. It's usually the opposite. The more foundational knowledge students can retrieve automatically, the more working memory they have available to think about complex mathematics.

GO OLD SCHOOL! There are two important findings that teachers should consider: the brain remembers & comprehends more when notes are handwritten rather than typed, and comprehension and memory are higher when information is read on a page rather than on a device. Find a balance!

The brain adapts quickly to how we consume information. One reason reading stamina is so low is that students have grown accustomed to the digital age, increasingly brief and fast-paced media formats, and multitasking, all of which reduce focus & the ability to sustain attention.

A study by Tomfohr found that toddlers exposed to excessive screen time show smaller volumes in the brain's language centers & a greater tendency to be drawn to screen use by age 3. Early screen exposure can alter brain development and behavior. #toddler #language #neuroscience
