Digital Learning in the 21st Century by Rachel McIntyre https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3 Digital Learner Interview, ECI 546 en-us 2017-10-01 11:58:35 UTC 2025-10-01 19:25:16 UTC hello@padlet.com What the Learners Say rachel_mcintyre https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3/wish/192750630 We learn best when our teachers summarize important items in ways that we understand. We love it when teachers relate topics to our daily lives.  
We like "hands-on" activities.
We live visual stimulation, pictures, videos, and any technology that lets us examine those things!]]> 2017-10-01 12:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3/wish/192750630 What Classes do we Choose? rachel_mcintyre https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3/wish/192750891 We enjoy taking courses like carpentry, science classes with labs, welding, art, and music. We would love to do hands on activities in our core classes like history.]]> 2017-10-01 12:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3/wish/192750891 Themes from Student Input rachel_mcintyre https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3/wish/192752117 We would like to participate in more interactive lessons.
We will take on more hands-on opportunities.
We would appreciate more time to create.
We always want condensed notes and more time to put the learned concepts to use.
We would never turn down the chance to complete more labs, projects in Career Technology courses, and technology in core classes]]> 2017-10-01 12:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3/wish/192752117 For Educators who Cannot do labs or carpentry projects: rachel_mcintyre https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3/wish/192752278 Here are the Digital Learner-approved programs!

They are not satisfied by note-taking, memorization, formal assessments, or passive learning through lectures. Though our students are aware that these are still important features in classrooms, they desire to be engaged, challenged, and rewarded by using new technologies and digital platforms, acting out simulations, and responding to Inquiry and PBL lessons. ]]> 2017-10-01 12:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_mcintyre/b7xyhzwj2ej3/wish/192752541
