The University of Utah Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence is hosting the Teaching Symposium at the Marriott Library on Monday, August 19th. I will be presenting two sessions. In an effort to save paper, all handouts will be provided right here for the symposium participants.
Spicing Up Your Lecture
Linda Ralston, Associate Professor, Parks Recreation and Tourism
Cut the blah blah and actually get your students excited about your lectures! Sometimes only a lecture will do to cover a large amount of content, but it does not have to be boring. We will explore the barriers to exciting lectures, examine how we can eliminate those barriers, and create an environment that supports engaged learners. We will review how to use the 4 P’s and 5 E’s to design a dynamic and fun teaching style that is suitable for small or large classes.
Facebook, Google Hangouts, & Tweets, Oh My! Social Media in the Classroom
Linda Ralston, Associate Professor, Parks Recreation and Tourism
Students are more than acquainted with many social media networking tools, so why not incorporate these tools into your classroom to ignite interactions and foster engagements with the broader community. Learn how you too can utilize the cost effectiveness of using free social networks and the value of incorporating “real-world experiences into your classroom,” as well as the ability to encourage collaboration between students. You are welcome to bring your iPad, SmartPhone, or tablet as you will be invited to engage in several activities during the session.
