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

  7. Kimberly – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    Very interesting course – reiterates what many of us are seeing in the classroom with students who have grown up in the information age/smart phone society. Brains have changed and we are teaching students that are resistant to learning in the manner that we are accustomed. The strategies at the end of the course were not necessary relevant to my subject.
