Essential Digital Tools for Student Engagement

Engaging and motivating students are always very challenging tasks faced even by seasoned educators. To make matters even more challenging is the fact that the average concentration span of adult learners is very short (around 9 seconds). Therefore it is incumbent upon the educators to find ways to gain the learners attention using creative strategies such as interactive learning activities in the classroom.

The advantages of using web-based tools are very obvious: no download and installation are required. Most of the web-based tools are also easy to use. In this workshop, several tools will be covered that would help educators to create interactive learning activities such as ice breaking sessions, brainstorming, discussion, reflection, and much more.
