One of the biggest complaints I hear about MyView is how boring it is. One of the biggest things I see is the teacher doing more work than the students. In order to solve both of those concerns, the answer is something as simple as engagement. How do we get students to participate more in their learning?
While it is simple, it's not easy. There are LOTS of explicit things you need to teach your students about how to engage in their learning. And sometimes, let's be honest. It's easier for you to just control what is happening and have kids sit there. While that it is easier, it's not better for kids.
On our new webpage, I have added a video that shows how I would engage students in ALL of the MyView lessons in order to build engagement. I probably need to go back and add some things for the writing section, but you will get the idea. I have also added other resources to help with engagement on this page and I am always seeking feedback so please share what you think is missing!
Happy Engaging! ;)
