Lesson 5
TECHNOLOGY IN ENGAGING LEARNERS
Introduction
Engagement is the first student-centered phase of the cycle in the model. This is where you consider student's prior
knowledge and/or identify possible misconception (Duran & Duran, 2004) There are different interactive and creative
strategies to engage and motivate the students. It is either you use motivation, such as interactive games, relevant songs,
interesting dance, and trending trivia or you use motive questions, such as giving students an essential thought-provoking
question which they will ponder upon. Fortunately, through the help and use of available educational technology
applications, you can now easily motivate and engage your students to the teaching and learning process. This lesson will
help you determine, use, and demonstrate possible EdTech apps to easily engage your students in your target lesson.
In this phase, you motivate the students by creating interesting activities that tap what the students know or think
about the topic. You may also raise questions and encourage responses to engage your students, while students attentively
listen, ask questions, demonstrate interest in the lesson, and respond to questions demonstrating their own entry point of
understanding (Barufaldi, 2002). There are several readily available EdTech apps in the World Wide Web. Now, your crucial
task as a future teacher is to explore their potential and use those apps in innovating and transforming your class. You
need to be creative in using these modern apps while considering the individual preferences, needs, and interests of your
students.
Here are some categories of notable EdTech apps that you may use in engaging your students:
A.Interactive game-based sites - These sites allow you to choose a game from introductions,
warm-up routines, and the game itself. There are numerous games and videos that you may use in engaging your students.
Thus, your primary task is to explore and select the most appropriate video which is related to your lesson. A tally in the
dash section keeps track f the minutes of each activity, points gained, and medals won, which is a nice incentive for the
class and a great way for teachers to share the activity summary with students.
B.Applications that generate word search games - These applications help you create your custom word hunt puzzle
that you may present and use in engaging your students. You may include related words that students may associate to
the lesson in the word, which later on will lead them to the lesson. You may conduct this simple activity individually, by
group, or as a class. Moreover, you may reproduce a hard copy of your puzzle or you may present it through an LCD
projector.
C. Local mobile game applications - These free mobile game applications are based on Filipino games. One is a word
and mind game that interestingly and interactively engages the students by guessing the word that is flashed on the phone
or screen. You may conduct this game by pair or by group.
D. Infographic-generating applications - These are web-based applications which help the students create their own
infographics during their brainstorming activity. These make students more engaged in the lesson by collaboratively sharing
their inputs to their groups then synthesizing their inputs through infographics. Aside from infographics, students may use
these apps to create reports, presentations, social media graphics, prints, flyers, and posters.
This lesson features several categories of EdTech apps that you may use in engaging your learners. Thus, if you
are a creative and transformative teacher, you can also integrate these apps to almost all the phases of the classroom
instruction easily. Lastly, there are several other EdTech apps available on the Net, you may also try to explore and integrate
those in creating a memorable classroom experience.
