Can you imagine driving a race car with only bicycle brakes to stop you? In this digital age, our students’ brains have been trained like race cars by the volume and speed of information that they have been processing since a very young age. But what happens when they must slow down and process information in a non-digital setting, like a classroom? In this course you will learn how to identify the effects of digital media on students and how to apply proven methods for adding depth and complexity to your AP and pre-AP classrooms.

  • How students’ interaction with digital media affects their brains
  • The structured Think-Pair-Share method
  • Auditory/sequential and visual/spatial processing
  • How the brain supports many types of learning
  • R.A.F.T. & Think-Tac-Toe activities

  1. Jennifer – HERTFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

    The best part was the questioning strategies and activities at the end, but it took too long to get there and that part was too short. Spare me the “kids these days” and get right to the useful part, please.
