Presenter: Tamra Davis, University of Oklahoma, Tulsa, OK Presiding: Marlene T. Stout, Kokomo
High School, Kokomo, IN (NBEA Legislative Advocacy Committee Chair) To succeed in school, students must devote time and energy to learning course content both in and out of the classroom. However, educators increasingly find students disengaged physically and intellectually in courses. Active learning—or variations referred to as interactive instruction, experiential learning, or learning by doing—has been found to result in positive learning outcomes. Students learn best when they take an active role in learning. This interactive session both explores and demonstrates instructional strategies that successfully promote active involvement in the learning process. Presenter: Karl L. Smart, Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, MI Session 2: E-mail Passé: Social Networking Leads the Way!
