Brainstorming is a cooperative approach in which a number of people collectively agree upon a solution after all of their ideas are brought forth and discussed. Ideally, more people in a group can lead to more ideas being generated. Groups should consist of students who vary in experiences, backgrounds, knowledge and academic disciplines. It is important to provide some form of follow-up to the brainstorming session as a sort of follow-through to support student effort. Brainstorming sessions allow individual students’ voices to become one with the group’s voice. Explain that as part of this course all students are expected to bend a little which may have them participating in activities which might make them uncomfortable.
Brainstorming, case studies, debates, and discussion are active learning strategies that encourage student participation and engagement. Brainstorming involves freely generating ideas about a topic without criticism. Case studies present real-world scenarios for students to analyze. Debates structure the exploration of issues with opposing viewpoints. Discussions allow students to work with concepts through questioning and sharing opinions. These strategies develop students' critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills.
The document discusses designing effective classroom learning activities. It explains that active learning is based on the ideas that learning requires effort and people learn differently. There are many activities that can promote active learning across disciplines and class sizes, including case studies, collaborative learning, think-pair-share, debates, games/simulations, minute papers, and having students teach or generate exam questions. These activities vary in complexity and require less time to implement but can still be highly effective for student learning. Instructors are encouraged to be creative in their choice and use of active learning activities.
Using Bloom's Taxonomy to Foster Critical ThinkingJerold Meadows

An empowered teacher is a reflective decision maker who finds joy in learning and investigating the teaching/learning process. Reflective thinking involves three levels - technical, contextual, and dialectical. The technical level focuses on skills and meeting outcomes, while the contextual level examines choices in relation to student needs and theory. The highest level, dialectical reflection, addresses moral and ethical issues through disciplined inquiry. Effective reflection ranges from simply describing past experiences to critically questioning assumptions and social issues related to teaching.
This document discusses various active learning strategies for student engagement. It begins by recommending assessing students' prior knowledge through surveys or reflection journals to understand their current level of understanding. It then provides examples of focused reading, concept mapping, interactive games, and having students draw quotes to analyze. Additional strategies discussed include having students demonstrate concepts creatively in groups, critical debates where positions are switched, and designating student roles in "analytic teams" such as proponent, critic, and facilitator. The document concludes by referencing additional resources on active learning strategies.
Cooperative and collaborative learning involves teamwork to achieve shared goals. In the classroom, students work together in small groups to help each other learn through developing solutions and understanding different perspectives. Effective cooperative learning groups have 3-5 diverse students, clearly defined shared goals and responsibilities, and provide accountability among all members.
The Global Studio -- Reflective Writingerikbohemia
This document provides guidance on writing an individual reflective report for a global studio project. It discusses reflective practice and using a reflective approach to evaluate the project process and outcomes. Key areas the report should cover include describing goals, skills developed, and lessons learned from working with an international team. The document also offers tips on structuring the report, potential problems to address, and techniques for keeping a reflective notebook to help capture experiences over time.
Reflective thinking involves experiencing something, thinking about what happened, and learning from the experience. It is a process of self-awareness, self-improvement, and empowerment. Two key models of reflective learning are Kolb's learning cycle, which involves experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and testing ideas, and Schon's model of reflection-in-action during an experience and reflection-on-action afterwards. Reflective thinking leads to better understanding of strengths and weaknesses as well as identification of areas for improvement.
1) The document discusses empowering student learning through knowledge production rather than consumption. It advocates for active, producing students through group activities, peer learning, and developing generic skills.
2) Examples of in-class active learning activities are described, like role plays and conceptualization exercises. Benefits include reduced assessment load and more feedback.
3) Assessment is aligned with the active learning methodology through exams focusing on higher order skills and applied, creative questions. Blogs are also used for assessment to encourage independent, reflective thinking.

Definitions of Conflict Resolution, Negotiation and Mediation. A detailed examination of all six steps of conflict resolution with an introduction to forgiveness.
The document describes a professional development session that provided teachers with strategies to develop differentiated instruction using higher order thinking skills. The session introduced three strategies - cubing, think dots, and canned questions - and provided examples of how each could be used with different content areas. The objectives were for teachers to be able to use the strategies to create engaging, differentiated activities aligned with standards and student needs. The session also discussed connections to SIOP components and Marzano instructional elements.
Effective questioning plays a key role in delivering outstanding learning, teaching, and assessment. Questions should draw students into the learning process and check their knowledge acquisition. Bloom's Taxonomy provides a framework for ensuring questions target different levels of thinking. Strategies like wait time, no hands up, phone a friend, and four corners can make questioning more effective. The session taught applying questioning strategies at different stages and having students teach others can improve learning.
The document discusses strategies for asking higher-order questions that go beyond basic recall and promote deeper thinking and learning. It provides examples of question stems to probe for clarity, challenge thinking, bridge ideas, reflect on learning processes, extend understanding, and personalize responses. Asking higher-order questions can help with feedback, setting challenges, encouraging metacognition, peer assessment, clarifying lesson objectives, generating discussion, and reviewing lessons.

Then, you will begin to investigate possible timely information technology policy and strategy interests, situations, or needs to suggest to the group look for areas that need improvement and can be solved with outstanding leadership and innovation.
Introductions.
As soon as you are assigned to a group, meet with the other group members to introduce yourself, to exchange email addresses, phone numbers, and class/work schedules. You may want to look for possible meeting times out of class. Time will be allotted for meeting in group rooms online.
Solution
-selection
. Meet to consider individuals’ suggestions about information technology policy and strategy related problems. Discuss alternative choices and come to a consensus on the ONE problem the group will deal with.
Only then, begin to discuss possible solutions to the problem. Discuss the extent, origins, and possible causes of the problem, consider alternative solutions, and select the solution that seems most practical and that meets these criteria:
Entails research that can be done by all group members
Is acceptable to all group members
Is complex enough to generate a proposal whose body is at least fifteen pages long.
If the group cannot achieve consensus on a solution, go back and select another problem.
Assign someone to take or record this discussion; it will grow into the proposal’s “Background” and “Statement of Need” sections.
Division of Work.
At the same meeting or at soon after, decide who in the group will gather what data and how. The group must make sure the work is divided fairly.
The “Questions for Problem-Solving Proposals” suggest what information will be needed. You may need to cover other areas not listed. To gather data, you will probably use some or all of the following:
Articles on successes of a similar solution elsewhere
Observations
Interviews
Questionnaires/Surveys, etc.
On-going Meetings.
Meet regularly (electronically/phone/otherwise) to share data. Each group member should provide all other members with copies of a brief outline of his/her findings to data. Also discuss and resolve any problems in data-gathering that arise.

This document discusses the nominal group technique (NGT), which is a structured method for small groups to generate ideas, discuss them, and come to a consensus without one person dominating. The summary is:
The nominal group technique (NGT) is a method for structured small group discussions to generate ideas, discuss them, and prioritize them to reach consensus. It involves individuals privately writing down ideas, then sharing in round-robin format without debate. Ideas are then discussed and privately voted on to determine the highest priorities of the group. NGT encourages participation and prevents domination by any one person. It has advantages of generating more ideas and achieving consensus over traditional group discussions.

The document outlines Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives for the Cognitive Domain. It describes 6 levels - Memory/Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. Each level provides examples of tasks, key verbs, and sample test questions that demonstrate that level of learning. The levels progress from remembering facts to more complex thinking like evaluating ideas against standards. The taxonomy provides a framework for designing learning outcomes and assessments at different levels of cognitive complexity.
Critical thinking is defined differently in different contexts and is learned through various experiences. Teaching critical thinking involves activities that develop traits like open-mindedness, analysis, and evaluation. Assignments that test critical thinking allow students to apply these traits to demonstrate their understanding.
This document outlines an upcoming teaching enrichment series session on critical thinking. The session will be led by Anita Gonzalez and cover definitions of critical thinking, two perspectives on teaching it, and mapping critical thinking skills. Critical thinking is defined as reasoning dispassionately and using evidence to solve problems and draw conclusions. It involves both general skills like logic as well as discipline-specific skills. Effective teaching of critical thinking engages students with specific critical thinking skills within a knowledge base.
The document outlines best practices for teaching large lecture courses with diverse student learners. It recommends putting together a complete syllabus, fostering active learning, and giving captivating lectures. It also suggests making the large class feel small by interacting with students, forming small groups, and learning students' names. The document advises encouraging questioning, bringing in student backgrounds, connecting concepts to other disciplines, cultivating multicultural learning, being available to students, reaching out to struggling students, personalizing the course, and getting student feedback.
The document provides teaching suggestions from students' perspectives, including dos and don'ts. It suggests that professors should respect student confidentiality, check prerequisites, adhere to the syllabus, avoid running over class time, post important announcements and grades online, clearly explain grading systems upfront, avoid publicly humiliating students, state exam times clearly, and proofread exams.
1. Set a positive tone by being fully prepared, treating students with respect, and showing enthusiasm for the subject matter. Your attitude will significantly impact students' experience.
2. Assume all students are capable and motivated, though not necessarily to learn the specific subject. Do your best to engage students and facilitate different levels of learning without forcing any student to achieve a high grade.
3. Be considerate of students' busy schedules by planning reasonable workload and following university guidelines. Changes to expectations can disadvantage some students.

The document provides teaching tips from Donald J. Liu. It discusses 5 key elements of effective teaching:
1) Overcoming limitations by transforming weaknesses into strengths, such as compensating for being a non-native English speaker.
2) Engaging students through active learning techniques like using clickers and group work rather than solely lecturing.
3) Building rapport with students by learning their names and treating them with respect.
4) Seeking out new teaching methods and frontier areas, such as using classroom experiments with clicker technology.
5) Maximizing the "theater" aspect of teaching through strong preparation and presentation skills.

This document discusses six core principles for creating memorable presentations: 1) have students dig deep into the material by linking it to things they care about, 2) introduce emotion to make people care about the topic, 3) show enthusiasm for the subject, 4) link the material to things students already value, 5) ask students what they value to understand how to engage them, and 6) make emotion the intended outcome of the presentation. It emphasizes using stories and storytelling techniques to help explain concepts and inspire students in a way that fosters emotional involvement.
This document outlines principles and practices for creating memorable presentations and courses. It discusses beginning a presentation with stories to engage learners and provides an overview of key concepts like aligned course design, active learning, creativity, and intended learning outcomes. The document notes that learning refers to significant and measurable changes in capability, understanding, knowledge, practices, attitudes or values.

The document provides instructions for attendees at a CTL retreat, including checking in at the tweet booth, sitting at tables, getting food, and writing a simple summary on a whiteboard. It then outlines 6 principles for effective presentations, focusing on making the content simple, unexpected, concrete, credible, emotionally engaging, and told through stories. Attendees are encouraged to consider how the presented model could be useful in their own teaching if supported by strong evidence.
This document provides an overview of using social media to build an academic digital identity. It discusses how platforms like Twitter can have a major impact if used effectively for timely communication, engagement, relationships and conversation related to academic activities. While academic work aims to engage people and spark debates, social media allows insiders to share their work more widely and outsiders to learn about organizations, creating more meaningful relationships between academics and their work/communities. Resources are listed on personal learning networks, hashtags, academic tweeters and using blogs to share research.

Small Group Writing Assignment – Difficulty Paper
Directions: After your group has finished viewing and evaluating all of your
group’s videotapes, work individually and together as the directions indicate to
complete the following tasks. Choose someone in the group to take notes and
type up your difficulty paper. A hard copy of the paper is due in the class period
after your small group meets, and [a virtual copy will be posted] by class time on
the same date. Indicate on the paper the name of the group, secretary, and
members of the group. The secretary is responsible for submitting the paper and
for distributing copies of the paper to each member of the group. Everyone in the
group will receive the same grade for the paper (worth 4 points/paper for a total
of 12 possible points).
Step One: Take a few minutes to individually think about what was the most
difficult part of the clinical simulation. You can just name these or write them
down. The secretary should keep track of the discussion. Share what you have
written with each other and see if there is any common ground regarding the
difficulties you have identified. If there are commonalities, focus on one of them.
If not, choose one of the difficulties that is of interest to the group and focus on it
as you discuss the following questions. (1 pt)
Step Two: Why was this difficult? You may brainstorm here and just write down
the general discussion of why you found the problem difficult. (1 pt)
Step Three: Discuss ideas about what you could do to resolve this. What plans
would help you come to terms with it whatever the difficulty is? Agree on one
plan that you think is the best resolution and write this down. (1 pt)
Step Four: Now look at the resolution that you have all agreed is the best and
propose arguments that someone could make against your choice. Write down
one of these arguments and how you would respond to it. (1 pt)
