Description
Andi McNair firmly believes that if what we’re teaching isn’t meaningful to our students, it’s a waste of our time and theirs. In this lesson, Ms. McNair explores what matters most to our students, why it matters to them, and how we can change the way we teach in order to ensure we reach them before it’s too late.
In this lesson, you will learn how to:
- Allow your students to fail safely, level up, and receive instant feedback in your classroom
- Prepare your students for the test and for real life
- Take risks in the classroom
- Design classroom experiences that leave an impression on your students
- Distinguish truly meaningful technology from all other technology

This course provided many technology resources that can be used in the classroom. Some of the resources mentioned could be used in K-2. I am a Pre-K teacher, so my wondering is whether these applications are age appropriate for the students I teach. I am excited to continue to learn and grow, so thank you!
