11. Student Engagement
From “Engage Me or Enrage Me” What Today’s
Learners Demand by Marc Prensky
3 Types of Students: self motivated, goes through the
motions, tune us out
All the students we teach have something in their lives
that’s really engaging—something that they do and
that they are good at, something that has an engaging,
creative component to it.

12. Student Engagement
Students’ lives today are media-rich.
They expect to be engaged by what they experience.
Words that describe games kids are engaged by:
“Explore...” “Take on your friends.” “Ex- citing!”
“Challenging!” “Master...” “Amass...” “Build...”
“Perform...” “Re- search...” “Lead...” “Don’t work
alone.”
Do These words describe our classrooms?

13. Group Development
Two are better than one, because they have a good
return for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his
fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls and
has not another to lift him up. Again, if two lie
together, they are warm; but how can one be warm
alone? And though a man might prevail against one
who is alone, two will withstand him.
--Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
