[Asis-l] New Teaching Workshop - Flip the Switch

[Jamie Kalousdian]

Announcing Cornell's  "Flip the Switch" Workshop- June 1, 2012 in Philadelphia, PA.  
Organizer:  Dr. Deborah Streeter, Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management,
 
Educators love to teach but research shows that while we all are teaching, 64% of our students are texting!!
 
Tired of competing with texting, email and other online distractions?  We've been experimenting successfully with using mobile devices to turn our students away from distraction and towards interaction. At a deeper level, we are connecting better with ALL students, not just the ones that always raise their hands.   In the process we started to wonder if we could somehow help other faculty members do this. 
 
The result is an intimate, hands-on workshop specifically focused on an action plan for each participant's courses, on how to make use of cellphones and other devices to intrigue and engage students, deploy digital video to renew attention spans and implement innovative "apps" to engage the YouTube generation in order to improve the learning environment. 
 
Please share information on this valuable Flip the Switch workshop with others.
