New video series: Teaching with Technology with Julian Daher
We are excited to announce a new video series with Hapara Champion Trainer Julian Daher from the Ottawa Catholic School Board on teaching with technology.

Offering student choice with playlist-based instruction
In essence, playlists give students choice over when, how and what they do to reach an academic objective. In a traditional lesson, students have two choices: follow the teacher’s directions verbatim, or choose to misbehave. That’s not much of a choice at all.
Promote student choice with Flipgrid, HyperDocs, and Workspace
So what is it about Flipgrid and HyperDocs that educators find so appealing? I think the draw is that they can be used to empower students by providing them with voice and choice in the classroom which, in turn, leads to increased engagement.

Why does feedback seem to be incredibly impactful sometimes in guiding student learning, but make no significant difference other times?
