Just the Facts? No Way! Getting Students Engaged in Critical Thinking

Presenter: Clayton Austin, TeamUP Faculty Programs Moderator: Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins

Yet some students in our  classrooms complain that critical thinking is boring and too hard. This session will help you simplify and energize critical thinking in your classroom. We will share ideas, examples, and activities to demonstrate methods that can be adapted for use
with any subject matter to help develop students' critical thinking skills.

Revvin’ Up and Shifting Gears:  Strategies to Make Online Learning and Engagement a Two-Way Street

Presenter: Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins, TeamUP Faculty Programs Moderator: Clayton Austin

4/25 1pm EST

Making the move from teaching face-to-face to teaching online can be daunting for both the educator and the learner, sometimes making learning feel like a one-way street.  And let’s be honest; it can feel like you’re riding on that same street in the F2F classroom, too!  However, the many miles of separation between educators’ and students’ desks (literally and figuratively) do not have to prevent educators from connecting and getting the most out of their learners. Join this interactive webinar to learn what the best online educators (and learners!) do.  Receive research-based best practices as well as practical tools and strategies for creating a two-way street that puts the brakes on inactivity and revs up the engagement in online (and even F2F!) learning environments.
