Today’s Learning Target: I can use interactive texts to increase student engagement
Why Use Interactive Texts? You never want to get on a plane where the pilot learned to fly from worksheets. -Todd Whitaker
What is Text? The word “text” comes from the Latin texere, to weave. Deriving from the Latin, most definitions place “text” as a linguistic structure woven out of words or signs. To call something a “text” implies that the words, phrases, lines or sentences of which it consists have not been arranged this way by chance, but have been produced by a person and with certain kinds of intentions. Therefore, a text contains meaning which is open to interpretation. -Foundation of Fundamentals of Literature and Drama
What is a QR Code? A machine-readable code consisting of an array of black and white squares, typically used for storing URLs or other information for reading by the camera on a smartphone or tablet
When information and expertise are no longer scarce, teachers must offer a different experience in the classroom if students are to engage.
