Have you been wondering how to add creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking all in one assignment? In this workshop we will be discussing new techniques that you can apply in creating assignments for your students that match the style of 21st century learner. Smart phones and tablets have made the acquisition of knowledge easy. However, students need to learn where to acquire this knowledge and how to organize it. We will provide you with some cool tips on designing such assignments that make use of the current technologies. We will discuss work hacks that will allow you to grade these assignments quickly. You will learn new ways to pose questions and technologies that will help you make these assignments engaging learning experience. You will have fun creating the assignments and we bet your student will have fun doing these assignments too. Join us and learn how to use YouTube, Twitter and other social media in your assignments and how to grade them. We will not be discussing rubrics for 21st century assignments in this workshop. That will be a topic for another workshop. In this workshop our focus will be creation of effective questions for your 21st century assignments.
