Description
Today’s students live in a media-saturated world. Their brains are constantly bombarded with sensory information and research shows it has affected the way they learn and process information. Educators need creative strategies and innovative ideas for engaging students, particularly those in the AP and pre-AP classes, in order to make them college and career ready.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- How students’ interaction with digital media affects their brains
- The structured Think-Pair-Share method
- Auditory/sequential and visual/spatial processing
- How the brain supports many types of learning
- R.A.F.T. & Think-Tac-Toe activities
This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies a, b, c, f, g and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 3.1, 5.1, 5.2.

Excellent course which discusses how technology and different forms of media have rewired children’s brains. Give explanations, ideas and activities on how we can combat this to help students learn.

I think it’s helpful for any class, not just a pre-AP or AP class, especially with regards to Left-Hemisphere/Right-Hemisphere thinking and different learning styles.

The student resembled a dependent conformer. The student’s reading level was well above grade level but student did very little reading. The class had a reading goal each six weeks and the student never reached the goal. The class had an individual tracker to track reading and progress. Towards the end of the year student started reading more but not to her full potential. All students chose their own reading material.

The course title is not all what this course is about. While there are some interesting things to take away from this course, it did not discuss depth and complexity and was really all over the place when it came to discussing GT students and how to engage them.

William – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
A lot of good things, but the data on over stimulation of kids due to technology is the same argument people have been making since the Roman Empire. Class structures were golden, though.

I liked some of the strategies such as Take a Stand
Amy – LEANDER ISD (verified owner) –
Seems dated. Really boring. But it’s easy.

Massively out of date both in research (psychological and technological) and conceptualization of tech and learning.

Lots of math examples. Updated info on learning styles. Brain science heavy.
