As instructional technologists and integration specialists we are faced with the challenge of making trainings with our teachers meaningful and productive. Here are some lessons I learned from flipping my high school chemistry classes and applying those same principles to training teachers on edtech tools.
These are the slides for my Virtual EdTech Rally keynote address.

1. Need to know “why”

learning
3. Need to feel responsible for their decisions (choice)

5. Problem-centered > Content-oriented
6. Intrinsic > Extrinsic Motivation
17. More Than Just Tech . . .

At their own pace - tutorials available
Learn by doing
