I had the opportunity to spend the last two days at the 2017 REMAST conference. I talked personalized learning, learned about instant relevance and how to use those darned fidget spinners
We had Denis Sheeran, the author of Instant Relevance, as our keynote speaker. Here are a few highlights from his presentations
- Meet kids where they are at. If they want to talk about something-LET THEM! Bring the math into the conversation
- Turn to the annoyances/discipline problems: What is the best way to dab? What is the best fidget spinner? What gives us the best chance to land that bottle flip?
- Strike while the iron is hot! All of the above examples will not be relevant next year. We have to use what is relevant to the kids NOW!
Short post for now, but an awesome conference/workshop!
