You need to know that the effort you put in will directly benefit your students’ learning, not just check a box on an observation form.

The TCEA Mastery Series on “Visible Learning with Ed Tech” is designed for you. It cuts through the noise to deliver evidence-based strategies that you can immediately use with the digital tools you already have.

Let’s look at three powerhouse strategies from the series:

1. Concept Mapping (Effect Size: 0.66): Move beyond simple note-taking. Using free tools like Diagrams.net or CMap, students can visually organize information, connecting new ideas to what they already know. This deepens understanding and makes learning stick. The series provides the simple “BOOM” model (Brainstorm, Organize, Open connections, Make it meaningful) to get your students started.
2. Reciprocal Teaching (Effect Size: 0.74): This four-step process (Summarizing, Questioning, Clarifying, Predicting) can produce nearly two years of growth in one academic year. It’s not just for text! Use it with videos, podcasts, or any media. It transforms passive consumption into active, collaborative learning.
3. Problem-Solving Teaching (Effect Size: 0.61): Once students have foundational knowledge, challenge them to apply it. Use AI tools to generate authentic, real-world problems or have students use platforms like Minecraft to design solutions. This strategy moves learning into the “transfer” phase, where it becomes truly useful.

Stop wasting time on digital busywork. This series equips you with a toolkit of proven strategies that leverage technology to make your teaching more impactful and your students’ learning more profound.
