SUMMARY:Pedagogical Essentials: Encouraging Student Engagement Through Playful Approaches to Teaching workshops
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about using play or playfulness in your teaching? Incorporating playfulness can encourage your students to actively engage using the intrinsic motivation baked into the fun of playing. \nBut how to start? In this workshop we will go through the process of creating a playful activity that starts with your student learning outcomes or a specific topic. We will briefly discuss a framework for approaching activity design and then we will dive right into a collaborative space of brainstorming and creation while exploring what implementing playfulness in the classroom could look like. Every classroom and instructor is different though so you will also have time to playfully create an activity or approach to use that is specific to your teaching.  \nRoll the dice and come join us to learn about playfulness in the classroom! \nRSVP Now!
