Teaching That Sticks is an article written by Chip Heath and Dan Heath that I highly recommend. There research and approach is clear and concrete. They include examples and how it would work in the classroom. They recommend the following six traits to make ideas stick:
1. Simple
2. Unexpected
3. Concrete
4. Credible
5. Emotional
6. Story
I focused on the story aspect and combined it with a great new website Zaption. Zaption allows for you to take a video and add interactive elements such as short response questions and multiple choice. This week I took a video from Ted Ed about commas and added some interactive elements. The video Commas:Conjunctions and Subordinates is a great way to flip the classroom or use in the classroom, but add extra engagement and focus for the students.
Here is my vlog where I discuss these ideas:
