Neuroscience & Student Engagement
With the advent of fMRI scans, we have literally been able to see through students' skulls and into their brains as they engage in learning tasks. This segment of the course explores cutting edge neuroscience research as it pertains to student engagement, motivation, and learning. (This is, perhaps, the most important portion of the course that current day teacher preparation programs are still failing to provide new teachers!)
Gamification & Game-Based Learning
Games are incredibly powerful motivators, and a growing body of research has shown that they can play a significant role in heightening student engagement, creating longer lasting understandings, and even fostering critical thinking. This portion of the course explores both gamification and game-based learning as means for incentivizing students, for increasing engagement, and for deepening their learning.
Enhancing Teaching & Learning With Technology
This is the quintessential "ed tech" segment of the course. Begin with an overview of what effective ed tech implementation looks like (e.g. purposeful and practical integration of digital tools), as well as a review of common ed tech frameworks, such as the SAMR model and the TPACK Framework. Then, explore a variety digital tools that meet the needs of your classroom. Perfect for both 1:1 and BYO learning environments.
