Bringing you the #MITLINC2019 Conference speakers... |
|
| This panel brings together representatives of four unique educational programs that reach learners wherever they are in their lives -- geographically, developmentally, and in the context of their lived experience. Panelists will highlight the techniques, pedagogies, and tech used to bring education to learners, rather than the traditional approach of bringing learners to educational experiences. |
|
Speaker: Prof. Christine Ortiz Prof. of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT
Ortiz is the founder of a new nonprofit postsecondary educational institution, Station1, that is a new model of higher education based on inclusion and equity, learning through frontier inquiry and research, and the integration of science and technology with societal perspective and impact.

Using MIT lessons for STEM and Project-Based Learning |
Active Learning:
From Principles to Practice |
|
| | | How can MIT BLOSSOMS -- an international partnership creating a repository of free, online active learning video lessons -- be used in high school STEM classes or Teacher Professional Development? Discover how MIT BLOSSOMS can be used as anchor lessons for multi-week student-team Project-Based Learning (PBL) assignments.
BLOSSOMS works with universities, governments, and high schools in developing international partnerships to improve STEM education worldwide. |
| | | Have you tried to incorporate active learning into your teaching, but wondered about its real impact on students’ learning outcomes? What elements make ‘active learning’ active, and how do students react to this way of learning? This workshop will review the idea of active learning over the past few decades, and then describe Chi’s ICAP Framework as an evidence-based approach to planning active learning activities for students and understanding their outcomes. |
