| End Time 3:50 PM | Introduction to Mnemonics: Phonetic Mnemonics (Multi-Day Event)
FLEX # 112
Mnemonic systems are strategies any one can learn and use to remember more. We often wish that we had a better memory: We'd be less forgetful; we'd learn more things; and we would be better at our jobs. The good new is that we can all improve our memories by using time-tested and evidence-based mnemonic strategies. 'Mental athletes' may astound us by their impressive memory feats, like memorizing decks of playing cards quickly, long lists of words or numbers, or reciting page after page of text verbatim. They will all tell you, however, that they don't have a special memory; they simply use mnemonics. And you can too. In this session, we'll cover the Phonetic Mnemonics, where digits 0 to 9 are represented by consonant sounds. These consonant sounds are combined with vowels to code numbers into words. Can be used to learn numbers or long lists of information. Combined with other strategies, its uses are endless. | |

| 9:00 AM - 10:20 AM | Active Learning - Benefits and Strategies
FLEX # 116
In this workshop I will explain the benefits of active learning and then offer a variety of strategies and structures that can be used to engage students in hands-on, interactive and/or participatory learning. You will "experience" one or more of these activities as a "student" in the workshop. I hope to reserve time at the end for a discussion of how the activities can be used or adapted with different types of course content. Those who are experts in active learning will see a lot of familiar techniques, while those who are newer will learn something...new! | |
