Bored with lecturing? Want to relieve the monotony by trying something different? Perhaps you know or have heard about active learning teaching strategies and would like to try using them in the classroom. But what if you have never done it before, or have tried it but would like to improve by being on the other end as a student in order to experience first-hand like students what active learning is trying to accomplish? If these circumstances reflect your situation, then this half-day workshop is designed for you. In the first half of this workshop, you will participate in an active learning (AL) activity that uses AL strategies such as Think-Pair-Share (TPS), Just-in-Time-Teaching (JiTT), and others. The purpose for this is simple: What better way to learn how to do something than to be an active part of it. Participants will work in teams and interact with other teams. Each team/group will be challenged to answer questions about a non-chemistry topic familiar to all team members but likely familiar to varying degrees- some will have greater and others lesser familiarity with the topic. Just like our students and chemistry topics, right? In working together to come up with viable and reasonable 'answers' related to a topic that participants may have to learn about 'on the fly', workshop participants will find themselves committing tentatively to answers (as a team or as an individual), critically evaluating proposed answers (their own and others), communicating their 'findings' and defending them (or perhaps revising them), and applying and testing new ideas while learning how to use a variety of AL techniques. In the second half of the workshop, each team will develop and then model (put into action with other workshop participants being students) a short activity using an AL technique.
