Editor's Notes
- Easy to set upGreat for teachers on different shifts, Part time or in different locations
- Intro: As we us technology more and more the importance of ‘detch experiences’ become more important. Gen Y and Gen Z want ‘Authentic, geununie learning experiences on and off line. Making the face2 face experience enjoyable and engaging is more important. In other industries this can be seen with the surviving book stores who are focusing the experience of being in the shop rather than the products to compete with online. For our students, making lessons interestingActivity:Facebook warmerResource: Digital diet – when it all gets too much
- Makes the transformation more engaging and kinaethetic – that is all!
