The Pedagogy Wheel V5.0 for App Selection

Many of you have faced the challenge of transforming your digital instruction from a simple substitution of technology in your classroom to an augmentation, modification, or redefinition level of ed tech integration (see my posts about the SAMR model of educational technology integration https://www.caldwellschools.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1814386&type=d&pREC_ID=1998037).  Check out this handy, hot-linked pedagogy wheel that connects SAMR to Bloom's taxonomy to Daniel Pink's work on motivating students to a ton of fantastic apps that put the right technology in your hands for the right educational task!
 

"In my experiences as an EdTech leader, I find that contemporary educators are passionate about using technology to extend and deepen learning. Most recognize the changing landscape of “the real world” and the modern pedagogies needed to prepare students for that world. However, more often than not, they find challenges in applying these new concepts with specific tools. 

With Allan Carrington’s Pedagogy Wheel Model, teachers have an at-hand reference that ties apps to specific learning outcomes directly connected to modern pedagogies and theories. They can easily sit with the wheel during lesson planning time to find tools that will best aid their students or use it during class time to extend or deepen learning towards a specific 21st century skill or content area. This connection of theory, practice, and application makes the Pedagogy Wheel an invaluable resource that should be on the wall of every classroom”.
