Workshop - Conversation Activity

The ACT Model consists of five active layers, where each layer is a pedagogy that can be applied in the classroom. In this section we will consider the second layer of the ACT model - the Conversation pedagogy.

We live in a world that has been fundamentally changed by social media. No longer is content central to learning. Of course content is always vital, but conversation around content has now become more important. The soul of social media is conversation, and as such this is a powerful pedagogy in our digital age.

Activities

1. ​Read the article "The Lost Question" here.  
2. Let's talk AND think - Is an inquisitive, questioning nature being taught out of our students? What do you think of the role of questions in learning?
3. Join our chat group here, and post your comments/questions/answers - https://tlk.io/letstalk​  

There are some amazing tools that can be used to support the conversation pedagogy, such as PlayPosit with allows you to build conversation/reflection points into videos. That's one powerful way of turning Consumption into Conversation! If you would like to learn how to use PlayPosit, and other online tools for conversation, then join the @CTIVATED Classroom Course HERE.
