The “Creative Thinking for the 21st Century” presentation, given at the AFACCT Conference in January 2015, examined how educators can embed 21st century skills into their teaching curriculum. The goal was to show that by using innovative teaching and learning processes students gain skills in collaboration and team building, enhanced communication through presentation, and applied analysis of information. Teaching and learning strategies to engage students to think differently about their own learning and to move beyond critical thinking to creative thinking was emphasized.
Fostering creative thinking skills in college studentsleilapalis
Many researchers and educators believe that although creativity may come more naturally to some, it also a skill that can and should be taught. This project focuses on the importance of fostering creative thinking skills in college students and offers strategies that educators can use to promote creative thinking in their classes.

Designing Blended Learning Experiences - HandoutBrent Jones
This workshop will walk participants through the course design and development process, with an emphasis on blended-learning curriculum for Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) contexts. Highlighting the work of L. Dee Fink (2003) in the area of Significant Learning
Experiences, we will explore the different types of learning in Fink’s Taxonomy (foundational
knowledge, application, integration, human dimension, caring and learning how to learn) while familiarising ourselves with his course design framework. Participants will be challenged to consider how each phase of this framework can inform and influence their own course design decisions, specifically the creation, adoption or adaptation of materials and methods to promote the
acquisition of a new language as well as broader 21st century skills. Using examples of courses recently developed for a content-based English language program for university students in Japan, the presenter will discuss how Fink’s concepts of backward design (what’s important now and years after the course, and what should students do in the course to succeed?) and forward assessment
(imagining students in a situation where they would use the knowledge/skills, and focusing the learning on realistic meaningful tasks) have helped in both revamping existing courses and developing new ones. Participants will go away with several job aids to assist them in their own
curriculum, course and lesson planning endeavours.
This is a shorter version of my other upload, Technology to Support Learning, which I presented at the Colloquium on Special Topics in Language Education.
This provides an overview of management approaches. Much of this work relied heavily on Bhavin Aswani's Evolution of Management Thought, Management 2's, The Evolution of Management Study and Management Yesterday and Today. Many other sources were also used in the slides.
This is a presentation I prepared a few years ago for my Computer Applications for Mass Communication classes. It is a conglomeration of several online and ongound sources; most of the content (text & graphics) are not mine. No copyright infringement intended
Because I find Alito Malinao's Rules on Clear & Effective Writing very helpful for students, I came up with this presentation. I also have included some examples or additional information which I got from various sources.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

4. Developing proficiency in any skill
requires a scaffolded approach;
critical thinking is no different.
5. When students think critically, they interact
with the text, skillfully analyzing the message,
comparing that message with their previous
knowledge, considering alternate positions,
and synthesizing the information gained into a
richer knowledge base - Pescatore (2007)
6. • Critical thinking skills do not
occur randomly or without effort; it
takes structured, deliberate, and
repetitive exposure and practice for
students to develop insightful thinking.
• To exercise critical thinking means that
students ― make sense of choices,
clamor, and confusion.
- Senechal (2010)

34. SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING
Subliminal Images
“Subliminal advertising is a technique of
exposing consumers to product pictures,
brand names, or other marketing stimuli
without the consumers having conscious
awareness. Once exposed to a subliminal
marketing stimulus, the consumer is
believed to decode the information and
act upon it without being able to
acknowledge a communication stimulus.”

35. How is critical thinking done?
Roger Darlington
The essence of critical thinking centers not on answering
questions but on questioning answers.
“Remember that prominence does not equate to
importance.”
Look out for exceptions. There is a popular saying that:
"It's the exception that proves the rule." In fact, in
scientific terms, it is the exception that disproves the
rule.”
Always look for evidence.
Always consider alternative explanations.
For one to critically think, one must always question a
certain scenario or piece of information. What are the
sources? Are the sources biased, or reliable? Is there an
alternative explanation?”

37. DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
Genal Hove (2011)
Bernasconi (2008)
• encourages students to read text more than
once
• as they do so, to question ―the text to
determine the author„s argument and the
text„s stylistic choices and structure
• Students also learn annotating, summarizing,
and descriptive outlining, skills crucial to making
meaning from a text
38. DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

o asking questions that require critical analysis
o evaluating sources

39. DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
Genal Hove (2011)
Mendelmen (2007)
• image-concept approach in an attempt to
transition from the tangible to intangible
• asks students to identify all images and
concepts present, and after this is mastered,
she challenges her students to move from
verbal analysis, to written analysis
communicating tangibles and intangibles
present in the work
40. DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
Genal Hove (2011)
Thein, Oldakowski & Sloan (2010)
• advocated a ―model of instruction…designed
to help students understand the constructed
nature of lived and text worlds and to critique
the messages they forward
• intent is to make students more aware of who
they are, how they live, and their impact on the
world
41. DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
Genal Hove (2011)
Beyer (2008)
• the most effective ways to teach critical
thinking is to ―make these components
explicit—obvious, specific, clear and precise
• make as explicit as possible how and why, step
by step, to carry out a skill efficiently and
effectively, we enable our students to become
more conscious of how and why they…actually
“do” that skill
