Effective Discussions Using Targeted Tech
Research suggests that discussion is an effective tool for teaching students communication and critical thinking skills, but it also presents some challenges. How do we get more students to participate? How can we teach the content we need to and allow students to find the answers through discussion? How can we get students to a deeper discussion sooner so that we have more time to explore it before class ends? Join us for one or both sessions of exploring discussion and the ways technology may be able to help.
Tech Session, Friday September 14th, ECS 025 – A hands-on workshop on implementing some of these discussion tools with folks from the FDC and DoIT. Registration is limited. Participants are encouraged to attend the “talk” workshop on Thursday. Lunch will be provided.
