Shared several interactive tools for meaningful whole class engagement. It covers some ideas on how to use those tools to engage the students in active and meaningful learning.

2. Whole-class engagement
requires MEANINGFUL
Learning to take place.
Students won’t bother to pay
attention if they think the tasks are
not meaningful.

3. MEANINGFUL LEARNING
But, how
meaningful is
“meaningful”?

4. Goal of technology
Integrations: To provide a
learning environment that
prioritise meaningful learning

5. MEANINGFUL TASKS
Active Achievable
Authentic Assessed
4As in creating
Meaningful
Tasks
(Chuah, 2014)
Students must be actively involved. Get
them to do something.
Tasks must be achievable, not too
difficult to be grasped.
Tasks should be related to the real-
world. Use authentic examples.
There must be some form of “assessment”
to check students’ understanding.

6. MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT
Let the students take charge
BUT with your guide.

7. MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT
Reduce your “lecture
duration”, and focus more
on meaningful tasks.

8. Embrace the Flipped Classroom approach.
