Teacher: "Good morning! Today's topic is about attention. Let's test ours. You have 60 seconds. On your mini-whiteboards, list EVERY digital notification you think you receive in a typical school day. Ready? Go!" (Starts timer). After timer: "Stop! Hold up your boards. Who has more than 10? 15?" Teacher: "Interesting. Now, a quick poll: How many of you feel it's harder to focus on reading a long article or book now than a few years ago? Thumbs up for yes, down for no." Teacher: "This connects to our topic: 'Learning in the age of the Goldfish'. We'll explore how our digital habits might be shaping our brains and what true diligence means in this context." |
Students individually brainstorm and write lists on whiteboards. They show their results and participate in the thumbs up/down poll. They listen to the lesson hook. | Descriptors: The student participates in the timed activity. The student responds to the poll. (no points) |
Mini-whiteboards, markers, timer, interactive whiteboard for poll (e.g., Mentimeter link). AI Tools: Mentimeter for live polling and word cloud generation of "notifications" to visualize collective experience instantly. |
