Reflection



I really

enjoyed all the time to

converse with colleagues,especially in different

disciplines – exchanging

ideas, as well as all the active

learning activities.

!"#$%&'()*#



It was very useful

for me to be the “student” to

see how well the learningactivities work to improve my

understanding/retention of the

material and improving my

ability to apply whatI learned.

!"#$%&'()*#



Thank you so much

for a fantastic

course!

!"#$%&'()*#



It was a pleasure to

be in this learningenvironment. I hope

to attend more

classes like this inthe future.

Collaborative Spaces



Active Learning

!

Learning in which students, “By acting onobjects and interacting with other people,

ideas, and events, construct new

understanding.” (Luckner & Nadler, 1997, p.13)

! “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I

remember. Involve me and I learn.”

~ Benjamin Franklin



Edgar Dale’s Active Learning Cone



Active Learning Strategies

!

Polling – hands, dot on poster board! Discussions (Think/Pair/Share)

! Board rotation

!

Role Play/Maker/Illustrate

style(s) it caters to

Share Your Stanzas



Reflection

!

Did illustrating the topic help you to learn it?! Did watching other groups’ illustrations help

you to learn the topic?

!

Did the music (auditory), illustrations(visual), and physical activity of presenting

(kinesthetic) assist in learning the topic?



Best Practices in Professional

Development

!

Get to know your faculty.! Use a variety of teaching strategies and

assessments that match the content.

!

Don’t be afraid to try new strategies.! Don’t be afraid to get them out of their

seats.

!

Provide food.!

Give time to “try it out.”

! Follow up with one-on-one appointments.
