Noun.

TEACHITIVITY is an inclination to design innovative ways in which technology provides new possibilities for students so that students are engaged in authentic experiences and take ownership in their learning.

 

Example: Ms. Jones channeled her teachitivity when planning for math by having her students create a Christmas shopping list for her dog using the site, Petco.com. This is how students learned the concept of estimating and adding with decimals.
