Invitation

Activities We Use to Engage Students in a SCALE-UP Classroom

February 3 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Johnson Commons East Banquet Room

Facilitator: Dr. Bin Xiao, Instructional Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy

Dr. Bin Xiao and his colleagues from the Department of Physics and Astronomy have been teaching an introductory-level physics course in an active-learning classroom that is very similar to the ones we will have in the new Jim and Thomas Duff Center for Science and Technology Innovation. We will introduce the Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-Down Pedagogies that we use. We will share the activities that were used before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic to engage students, including the games like “Jeopardy!”, “Escape Room”, and “Pictionary” we facilitated in the classroom.
