Between the workshops I run, blog emails received, and helping in the community, I get to see hundreds of e-learning courses. A common issue for many courses is transitioning from sharing content to helping people use the content to make the appropriate decisions.

For many years I helped teachers and students use YouTube's annotations tool to create series of interactive or choose-your-own-adventure videos. Unfortunately, YouTube discontinued that service about eighteen months ago. This week a reader contacted me for a recommendation on other ways to make interactive videos. My suggestion was to try using Thinglink's video editor.

As much as Generation Z has embraced technology for social engagement, they very much still value an on-campus education experience.
Does your faculty embrace video? Members of Generation Z say they vastly prefer video as a learning method, according to Beyond Millennials: The Next Generation of Learners, a recent study from Pearson and The Harris Poll. The study notes that Generation Z, or students ages 14-23, have had their educational expectations shaped by technology in more ways than the 24- to 40-year-old millennials. Via EDTECH@UTRGV

LearningApps.org is a Web 2.0 application, to support learning and teaching processes with small interactive modules. Those modules can be used directly in learning materials, but also for self studying. The aim is to collect reusable building blocks and make them available to everyone. Blocks (called Apps) include no specific framework or a specific learning scenario. The blocks are therefore not suitable as complete lessons or tasks, instead they must be embedded in an appropriate teaching scenario. Via Nik Peachey

At the most basic level, one way to embrace ‘Genius Loci’, the spirit of a place, is to provide students with opportunities to tell digital stories about local areas of interest powered by ThingLink’s interactive 360 image editor. The tool provides a seamless way for students to capture learning on the go through mobile devices, and it offers a platform for constructing deep digital stories. Via Nik Peachey

1. The think, pair and share technique is one of the most well-known interactive learning methods. This technique is versatile and can be used in many ways. A teacher will ask students to think about a question or task. Then they each share their thoughts with a partner, before the group shares. Students can share their thoughts with peers in a non-intimidating manner. However, they are not forced to respond to a whole room of students.
2. Take a side This activity is great for discussing controversial topics in my classroom. This activity is also useful for anticipatory activities when you start a new unit. Students are asked to make a statement and then they line up in groups on the opposite sides of the room according to their opinions. This activity can be expanded by adding more statements to influence opinion. You could also allow your children to debate each other. It will get your students moving and allow them to hear the ideas and opinions of their peers.
3. Interactive Notebooks This is a great way for students to learn how to be more present in their note-taking. An interactive notebook requires students to pay attention to every step. You can make templates on your own time if you are a teacher in the higher grades. However, I have seen students as young as 10 and 11 years old really enjoy this "arts & crafts" portion of classes. Interactive notebooks can be used in all subjects, including math, English and science. There is a plethora of information and free templates on the internet, ready for you to use for interactive learning. (https://www.joyusing.com/Document-Camera.html)
4. Online Collaboration Teachers have so many options online to get their students engaged and working together. Google Docs/Slides are a popular tool for students to collaborate on projects. But there are many other tools that you can use, and they are all free! Joyusing(www.joyusing.com) allows students to create videos for class projects. You can enhance what you do in the classroom by researching other media that your students can use to promote interactive learning.
5. My number one piece of advice regarding assessment is to allow your students to choose. Instead of assigning them an essay, offer them the possibility of creating a poster or creating slideshows, giving a speech, and writing that essay. While you can still assign a writing component to the easier options, it allows students to choose what they are best at. While some students prefer structure and being told what to do, others like more freedom and the ability to think for themselves.
