Episode 15: Buzzworthy: How to Capture Students’ Attention & Hold It (w/Matt Miller)

Matt Miller is a former Spanish teacher and the author of Ditch That Textbook and Tech Like a Pirate. In the age of fleeting student attention, Matt has coached thousands of educators in the art and science of technology as a tool for student learning. In this episode of The RocketPD Podcast, Corey asks Matt what it takes to create authentic and engaging classroom experiences that capture students' attention and hold it. We talk about ways to include students in the instructional design process — and why the technology you use is less important than the experiences that you create. At the end, Matt talks about a cohort he's building later in the year to help teachers engage students through the power of technology.
