1:15-2:00 Session 3- Dr. Matthew X Joseph, Moving From Consumption to Creation
We often talk about engagement and students having an active role in learning. However, if you look at the classroom of the 50s, you would see desks in rows, a teacher in the front of the room doing most of the talking, books out on the desks, and students consuming the lesson. Should schools in 2020 or during remote learning follow this same model? The answer should be a resounding, very loud NO, but that is not always the case. In today’s classroom, do we teach by telling information that students are expected to consume? This session will focus on tools and strategies to create active thinkers and learners.
