There is no escaping the many ways that technology has entered the classroom. In a recent discussion with some teaching colleagues, the majority have accepted that students have a powerful tool at their fingertips and as educators this tool can have many applications in the classroom. The following link to a blog post by Victotia Ingalls (2019) is a great illustration of this. By posing a problem to have the class solve in groups and then post a quick video to a shared Google drive, the instructor not only promotes active and collaborative learning but also receives formative assessment regarding comprehension of the problem. Ingalls does indicate that there are a few that might be encountered such as ensuring that the chosen video app is available on both iOs and Android operating systems and sluggish wifi. Overall though, definitely a strategy worth trying.
