12. Getting Students to Reflect on Their Learning Using Assessment
Thursday, October 1, 12:50pm-2:10pm
Assessment, as an essential part of good instruction, gathers valuable information to support our educational decisions. To make the best use of assessment, it is very critical to conduct assessment in an ongoing manner so that learning needs can be identified and immediate improvements can be made. Embedded assessment, as an effective way of on-going assessment, allows instructors to monitor student learning without compromising valuable instructional time. In this workshop, you will learn several examples of embedded assessment that you can easily adopt in your daily instruction.

Similarly, integrating technology like a SMARTBoard into your lecture can enhance your lessons and make them more enjoyable for you and your students.

15. Maintaining Student Attention by Varying Classroom Activities: Incorporating Change-ups in Delivery.
Friday, October 2, 12:50pm-2:10pm
We all have an all-too-natural tendency to drift off during a lecture presentation. Though attention spans are individual, studies show that students begin to lose concentration 10-20 minutes into the presentation. Not only do these attention drift-offs cause students to miss important pieces of information, but they can be disruptive to your focus as the presenter. In this workshop you will design change-up delivery tactics to incorporate into your classroom session that will prevent your student audience from losing focus during presentations. Resources and a collaborative website will be provided for classroom session planning.

23. Who are our Students? - Teaching the Millennials
Wednesday, October 7, 12:50pm-2:10pm
Education is changing because our students are changing. The Millennials in our classrooms have different worldviews and perceptions about education. Their formative years have been spent in a world that's vastly different than the world in which we were educated. They are the Google and Wikipedia generation. They grew up with computers in their classrooms and texting on their cellphones is one of their primary means of communication. This isn't going away. We tend to teach as were taught and that won't work with the Millenials. Let's discuss who they are and how the learn. How can we effectively reach and teach them and maintain the quality standards and best practices we endorse in our classrooms.
