Why: Students thrive in learning environments where they are encouraged to give and get feedback. With bite-sized lessons, tips, and engaging stories, it works well for asynchronous online instruction. This tool is available for download on mobile devices, and can also be used on the web. Duolingo offers 94 different language courses - all courses, lessons, and levels are free. Duolingo is a powerful tool for supporting students in learning a foreign language. In this blog post brought to you by Duolingo, I will model a planning process using their app. The first step is identifying your "Why." What do you want students to learn? Next, identify your "What." What tool will students use to learn? Finally, name your "How." How will students use this tool systematically so they can "own" their learning process? Because engaging students online can be more challenging than in a traditional classroom, it is important that teachers plan online instruction with students at the center. Learning is no longer a result of compliance, but a collaborative process. When we provide students with opportunities for voice, choice, and ownership over their learning, they are more engaged.
