10:30am Keynote Address ; Curt Bonk, Active Learning with Technology: Myths, Magic, and Mucho Motivation
Dr. Bonk will demonstrate how emerging technologies integrate with learning theory and pedagogy to provide active learning environments for large classes.
“Dr. Bonk will provide more than 100 ways to liven up your lectures and get your students involved and engaged in learning. Some of the strategies will be very teacher-centered, while others will give students more ownership and control of the curriculum. These strategies will relate to creativity, critical thinking, cooperative and collaborative learning, and motivation. In addition, Dr. Bonk will label each one in terms of the degree of risk, times, and cost and he will offer his advice for getting started with these tools and techniques.”
