Wednesday, March 27, 2024 · 12 - 1 PM

To optimize our learning experiences during Michelle D. Miller’s presentation next month, we’ll discuss Chapter 5: “The Devices We Can’t Put Down: Smartphones, Laptops, Memory, and Learning,” pp. 171-210, of Remembering and Forgetting in the Age of Technology: Teaching, Learning, and the Science of Memory in a Wired World (WVU Press, 2022). A professor of psychological science and President’s Distinguished Teaching Fellow at Northern Arizona University, Miller’s writing is engaging and accessible; she shows how to apply what we know about learning and the brain to teaching. Past FDC programs have explored ways to optimize (or minimize) these devices in the classroom–in this chapter Miller expands our knowledge about how they affect learning and memory and discusses how to minimize their distractions and enhance their affordances.
