="Is it Entertainment or Engagement"? Re-Inventing the In-Class Experience for Today's Student=

Workshop themes: Classroom management, student engagement, and first year experience
This session will address openly and frankly the technology driven student of today. Discussion on smartphones, computers, and tablets as reality and possible in-class resources will be explored. Instructors will compare and contrast the once traditional "lecture only" style vs. embracing technology and engagement to keep students active in the classroom experience. Lesson plan development will seek to maximize in-class time by creating research supported and pedagogy driven allocation of time for lecture, group activity, and/or video support. Enhancing the classroom experience by promoting the formation of learning communities will be discussed. Participants will gain a greater understanding of today's learners as well as how to create an engaging,interactive class opposed to reliance totally on lectures supported by PowerPoints and note taking. Attendees should include instructors, advisers, and departmental coordinators. Instructors and staff of first year experience can benefit as well.
