Teachers need to be asking questions to get students thinking about the task.  The bulk of the teacher's work becomes providing meaningful experiences and guiding students to understand their own pathway of learning.

Develop ways for students to master content through critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration.
Engaging activities.
Great for differentiation

They will shift from lecturing to facilitating.
This concept seems to follow the workshop model where teachers modle briefly and then confer with the students during their independent work time. Teachers focus on designing an engaging lesson and facilitate their learning. ]]> 2019-08-13 17:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bdnordquist/8tvuv2bhpo87/wish/374369760 https://padlet.com/bdnordquist/8tvuv2bhpo87/wish/374370400 Teachers become guides for students' use of technology and encourage deeper levels of thinking while fostering collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.]]> 2019-08-13 17:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bdnordquist/8tvuv2bhpo87/wish/374370400 https://padlet.com/bdnordquist/8tvuv2bhpo87/wish/374370568 Takeaway... teacher must prepare for lesson rigorously.
