Can you imagine driving a race car with only bicycle brakes to stop you? In this digital age, our students’ brains have been trained like race cars by the volume and speed of information that they have been processing since a very young age. But what happens when they must slow down and process information in a non-digital setting, like a classroom? In this course you will learn how to identify the effects of digital media on students and how to apply proven methods for adding depth and complexity to your AP and pre-AP classrooms.

Description

Today’s students live in a media-saturated world. Their brains are constantly bombarded with sensory information and research shows it has affected the way they learn and process information. Educators need creative strategies and innovative ideas for engaging students, particularly those in the AP and pre-AP classes, in order to make them college and career ready. 

In this 1-hour course, you will learn:

  • How students’ interaction with digital media affects their brains
  • The structured Think-Pair-Share method
  • Auditory/sequential and visual/spatial processing
  • How the brain supports many types of learning
  • R.A.F.T. & Think-Tac-Toe activities
This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies a, b, c, f, g and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 3.1, 5.1, 5.2.

  1. Roger – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    Some helpful, practical ideas. However, the brain science he uses is simplistic and misleading. For example, the right brain/left brain distinction is way too simplistic – read what the cognitive scientists and neuroscientists have to say about it! Everybody Integrates the use of the right and left sides (unless the corpus callosum has been cut). While considering students’ “learning styles” can be of some usefulness, what is more important is matching the instruction/learning activities to the content and skills to be learned.

  2. JOYCE – GOOSE CREEK CISD (verified owner) –

    This course included helpful reminders for different types of learning.

  3. Andrea – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    I enjoy learning about different activities and methods I can incorporate, but I am not a strong proponent of learning styles. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all mindset when it comes to teaching young minds. Brains are malleable, and I believe it’s important to introduce a variety of activities to enrich every students experience.
