Our session today was really meant to be focused on student engagement, but the tools I wound up sharing were heavily focused on photos. Still, they are neat tools, most are very easy to use, and I think could be made part of a project-based lesson, or authentic assessment, or differentated strategy in any content area, or provider of student choice (to name just a few characteristics of instruction that engages students). Visit the website here.
Characteristics listed by Schlechty:
- Content and Substance
- Organization of Knowledge
- Product Focus
- Clear and Compelling Product Standards
- Safe Environment
- Affirmation of Performance
- Affiliation
- Novelty and Variety
- Choice
- Authenticity

Motivating students at the Middle School level seems to get more challenging every year. I will be using the relevance matrix as I create my lessons this year.
