Engaging Students Online – A Cracker-Barrel/Show & Tell sponsored by the Dawson Active Learning Community (DALC)

Join Dawson teachers to see how they are using online tools and techniques for a more dynamic and engaging online learning process.

This interactive workshop will use a “cracker-barrel” format:

1) Dawson teachers will show & tell how they are using tools like Instagram, interactive video, forums and quizzes to engage their students, and

2) Participants will be invited to discuss in breakout rooms that focus on one specific tool. A perfect opportunity for teachers who have survived the shock of switching to online teaching and are now thinking about ways to focus more on online learning and engaging students meaningfully in their course(s).
