ITC: 136 - Using Active Learning Strategies in the Classroom

Throughout this podcast, I have referenced active learning but I have never really explained myself. The concept of active learning has been around since the 1860s. I suspect that it is not used in classrooms more is because it is not convenient for instructors. It is much easier to just spew out information as though students were sponges. But research has demonstrated over and over again that this is not the best way to learn. We tend to learn best when confronted with opportunities to work with concepts. This week, we are going to take a closer look at active learning and provide a list of techniques that you can use in your classroom. Come learn more.
