What is nano learning and why it matters?

Why it matters? Think about it. Not only have we started the blended learning conversation, but we have taught through a pandemic, and are living in a time where the most popular learning platform is a toss-up between YouTube and TikTok for all kinds of learners.

What are we waiting for? 

Suggested nano learning opportunities could be:

  • Visual Literacy Challenges (using images to demonstrate concepts & vocabulary) 
  • Observe, Talk, Read, Talk, Write 
  • Connect a 3D lab to a 2D challenge question/application 
  • Compare & Contrast graphic organizers 
  • Quick Write with key vocabulary 
  • Formative Assessment/Performance Assessment 
  • Choice Boards 
  • Explore at a Lab Station 
  • Journal Prompt connecting today’s learning to me personally 
  • Design Challenge 
  • Virtual Field Trip 
  • Vocabulary Games 
  • Simulations 
  • STEM Tool Exploration (Tinker CAD, AR, VR, Coding) 

 

What if … we go where the students already are.
