SUMMARY:What’s the Secret to Creating Classroom Discussions That Work?
DTSTAMP:20181115T111532
DESCRIPTION:While they are effective pedagogical tools\, leading discussion
 s can be frustrating. They can easily go awry\, leading to uncomfortable si
 lences\, the domination of a couple of speakers\, superficial contributions
 \, and off-topic remarks. This workshop reviews research-based principles f
 or guiding classroom discussion and strategies for designing and facilitati
 ng classroom discussions that work to create an effective\, positive learni
 ng experience. You’ll experience a variety of specific strategies first-h
 and\, including those relevant to small classes\, large classes\, online co
 urses\, and a variety of disciplines. Plus\, you’ll reflect on how to app
 ly these strategies to your own classes. You’ll also learn what you can d
 o to prevent the “common discussion pitfalls” listed above\, along with
  what to do when they happen. You’ll also learn how to design discussions
  as a part of your course so they truly help students learn (and so you’l
 l know that they worked!).
