Presented by students from the Blue Valley Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) Teacher Education Program.
Technology has had a positive place in education with its resources for learning and communication, but it also has received negative press considering addictions to devices, time on task, and isolation of students. Students, however, feel that they are not connected to devices but rather connected to a network and community in which they live. Educators could feel more comfortable with this concept if technology could be viewed as an asset rather than a distraction. Join us to hear from students on how teachers can leverage technology to not only build better relationships with students and each other, but also as a way to promote mental health, confidence, positivity, and acceptance into a lifelong community of learners.
This session is created by and presented by eleventh and twelfth grade high school students who are a part of a Teacher Education program at the Blue Valley Center for Advanced Professional Studies. They work with practicing teachers and their students and also research and study innovations in learning.

Towards MOOCs and Their Role in Engineering EducationSajid Iqbal
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are the latest installment in the field of distance education. This presentation discusses the pros and cons of MOOCs in the educational systems with a special emphasis on the engineering education. Since 2012, more and more universities have been joining MOOC revolution and the number of online courses has considerably increased over time. Engineering MOOCs are also increasing. Due to their access to large audience, massive online courses have been expanding their horizon of admission to engineering education at all levels and improving the in-campus learning.
Introducing Undergraduate Electrical Engineering Students to Chaotic Dynamics...Sajid Iqbal
In current undergraduate electrical engineering, the emphasis on linear systems develops a way of thinking that dismisses nonlinear dynamics as spurious oscillations. The linear systems approach oversimplifies the dynamics of nonlinear systems. This talk helps students understand chaotic behavior using simulations of a continuous-time circuit and a discrete-time system. The undergraduate students and teachers can recognize the educational value of chaotic phenomena from them.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. The Birthday Paradox
• The Birthday Paradox, aka the Birthday Problem, states
that in a random group of 23 people, there is about a
50 % chance that two people have the same birthday.
• It is strange, counter-intuitive, and completely true.
• It’s only a paradox because our brains can’t handle the
compounding power of exponents.
• We expect probabilities to be linear and only consider
the scenarios we’re involved in (both faulty
assumptions).

2. The Birthday Paradox (Cont’d)

Buzz groups are short discussions that are done in pairs or
groups of three people at the most.
Ask your participants a question; ask them to solve a
problem or to agree on a definition.
Other good types of questions for buzz groups include:
- asking participants to find similarities and differences between
concepts;
- discussing pros and cons or discussing the participants’ opinions on
something.
5. Buzz Group
13. 13
The question needs to be simple and to the point.
Write the question somewhere where the participants can
easily see it, such as on a board, a PowerPoint ppt slide or a
handout.
Buzz groups are best when they are kept short, so give your
participants up to 5 minutes and try to limit it to that
timeframe.
5. Buzz Group (Cont’d)
14. 14
At the end, ask each pair to report their answers to the rest
of the class and then you summarize them.
When to use Buzz groups: Buzz groups are useful to engage
participants who are shy and are not comfortable working
with big groups. They are also good for participants to start
reflecting on a topic.

Interactive brainstorming is mostly performed in group
sessions.
The process is useful for generating creative thoughts and
ideas.
Brainstorming helps students learn to work together, and
above all, learn from each other.
You’ll be surprised by all the great ideas they come up
with!
6. Brainstorming
16. 16
Brainstorming encourages participants to come up with
ideas to solve a problem or answer a question.
Brainstorming is done quickly as participants are
encouraged to say whatever first comes to their minds.
The aim here is not quality but quantity. The ideas will
be analyzed and discussed later.
6. Brainstorming (Cont’d)
17. 17
During brainstorming, ideas are not judged and the flow
of new ideas is instead preferred.
All ideas are welcomed.

18. 18
You can run a brainstorming session with the whole class at
once, as you write down the answers, or in groups, so each
group writes down their answers and then they present
them to the rest of the class so the ideas can be combined
or improved.
At the end, the most useful ideas are chosen.
When to use brainstorming: Brainstorming is very useful
for problem-solving. Also, you can use a quick
brainstorming session to introduce a new topic, so that
participants come up with their own solution first before
you explain the topic to them. https://symondsresearch.com/types-classroom-activities/

This activity is an adaptation of the old Simon Says game.
The game begins slowly, so the students think the exercise
will be easy. Then the teacher increases the difficulty.
Each student has a white board and marker, or, again,
notebook paper will do. We will use math for this example.
The teacher picks a number and says “the teacher says
four.” So the students all write down the number four,
either the numeral or the word.
7. “Teacher Says,” Otherwise Known as “Simon Says”
20. 20
Then the teacher could say, “Teacher says 320,” so
students write 320.
The teacher can further increase the difficulty by saying,
“teacher says three million, four hundred thousand, six
hundred twelve and six tenths.”
The students need to write 3,400,612.6 to be correct.
Place value, fractions, percents, and decimals are great for
this activity.
7. “Teacher Says,” Otherwise Known as “Simon Says”
21. 21
Obviously, teacher discretion is used when playing this
game and working with either a remedial, average, or
enriched group of students.
The wonderful aspect of this exercise is that it can really be
used to reach all levels of learners.
7. “Teacher Says,” Otherwise Known as “Simon Says”
22. 22
This is similar to a family tree but instead of just listing
relatives they included any diseases/illnesses that existed
within their family.
- What illnesses did our late grandparents have?
- How old were they when they died?
- What did they die of?
8. Family Health Tree
23. 23
For instance, if a student’s grandmother had cancer, the
student would place her in the appropriate spot and list
cancer as a disease.
If she had other diseases, then those would be added as
well. After the student constructed the tree, he would
examine it to determine the most common illnesses.
As an opportunity to reflect upon the activity, students
would write a report discussing the top two or three
diseases and ways to prevent those diseases in their own
lives.
8. Family Health Tree
24. 24
This is an activity that can be used on the first day of
school to help the teacher and other students to learn
everyone’s names.
This game is great because it starts to build a connection
with the teacher and students.
This activity is a word association game where students
choose something that begins with the first letter of their
first name. For instance, if a student’s name were Josh, he
would choose a word like “Jolly-Rancher.”
9. Jamaica Trip (Name Game)
25. 25
The game is played as if the class is going on a trip to
Jamaica and everyone is taking something with them.
The goal is to remember what everyone’s name is and
what item each person is taking with him on the trip.
The game begins with the teacher coming up with a word
for her first name as well. So let’s say the teacher’s name is
Gloria. Then she would come up with a word like “gloves.”
Then the teacher says, “My name is Gloria; I am going to
Jamaica, and I am taking gloves.”
9. Jamaica Trip (Name Game)
26. 26
Then the students go in order adding each person in front
of them.
For instance, if the first student after the teacher were
Josh, he would say, “My name is Josh; I am going to
Jamaica with Gloria and her gloves, and I am taking some
Jolly-Ranchers.”
The game progresses until each student has taken a turn,
and the game finishes with the teacher.
Here, she names every student and what each is taking on
the trip.
9. Jamaica Trip (Name Game)
27. 27
N.B: Don’t let students write down anything during the
activity.
Some are afraid they won’t remember, but since it is word
association, students usually do better than they expect to
do.
The name game is really a great way to begin developing
relationships with students.
