Hacking Engagement: 50 Tips & Tools To Engage Teachers and Learners Daily (Hack Learning Series Book 7)

I am not a teacher, but do work with students over 10 weeks as part of our Parks for People program at local schools. I have wondered how to better involve the students in the lessons to help them learn and retain and become advocates for equitable places to play and learn. This book provides so many opportunities to engage (not wot with) the students I can not wait to include many in my lessons.

Mr. Sturtevant was my geography/world history teacher in high school. He is an awesome educator and an inspiration to all of his students (especially those of us who became teachers ourselves)

This book will surely get you excited about teaching! I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of ideas and every one of them are absolutely fantastic! I jumped in right away applying them to my classroom (4th grade) and the kids loved everything but especially the hashtags, naturally! Pull out your highlighter/pens/and notebooks and be prepared to take lots of notes. And of course, Mark Barnes makes it so easy to start using these hacks right away in his, “what you can do tomorrow” section. Highly recommend this entire series, you won’t be disappointed!

I began teaching during the 20th century and frankly, many of my strategies are outdated or archaic for this generation of learners. This book helps me to update some of my strategies, but also provides numerous new ideas for my social studies classes.

Hacking Engagement: 50 Tips and Tools to Engage Teachers and Learners DailyLooking for creative ways to engage learners? These easy access “tips and tools” from Jim Sturtevant is a great resource book packed with creative ideas to step away from traditional approaches. The integration of QR (quick response) codes helps teachers both model and incorporate technology to enhance student understanding. Sturtevant’s examples of techniques such as building an Avatar to get to know students, using youtube videos to unleash dynamic ways to discuss “Class Procedures … Night at the Improv” or role play in literature circles to promote student interactions and energy. The “hack” titles alone are entertaining and draw the reader to quickly embrace novel ideas to engage oneself and one’s students.I have been renewed and inspired by these hacks and am ready to try a new one tomorrow!Dr. Rae White, Muskingum University
