How Do You Engage Distracted, Overworked, Underpaid Learners? Innovative Teaching Techniques! (Melissa Hortman)

Teaching is something we do every day in many different ways from formal to informal, from traditional to multimedia, and from educational to empowering. You have the opportunity to be innovative in the way you teach every moment you are with a learner. Simply knowing what is available to you when teaching can help you be more engaging, efficient, and effective with your learners. With our learners becoming more distracted, overworked, and underpaid every day, the teaching techniques we use have to be engaging. With a new teaching technique coming out almost every day, we want to be sure to engage learners with the most effective technologies and teaching methods. Join us in overthrowing the lecture, a trend that has ruled universities for over 600 years, with active learning. Let's shift from "teaching" to "helping the learner". When there is a willingness to change and grow, innovation can benefit both the teacher and learner.
