Moving From Consumption to Creation

- Dr. Matthew X. Joseph -

Twitter- @matthewxjoseph

We often discuss engagement and students' 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. 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.
