April 29, 2024: Metacognitive Skill Building: Helping Students Think About Their Learning
The teacher cannot be the only person in the classroom thinking about the students' learning. Students must be actively engaged in thinking about, monitoring, evaluating, and reflecting on their learning. This session will focus on technology-infused strategies teachers can use to help students develop their metacognitive skills so they can be more active and engaged learners. This work is critical to developing expert learners who are resourceful, strategic, and motivated.
