Date: 2012-05-22

You may have attended sessions on creativity and innovation as a means to break your students out of traditional ways of thinking. Or perhaps your discipline emphasizes critical thinking skills and activities. Still other areas will recognize the importance of teamwork skills in real world and embed group activities in their classes. No matter the area of concern, motivation of students is important. This week will feature ideas from each of these teaching and learning areas. Particularly, instructional approaches for critical and creative thinking, cooperative and collaborative learning, and motivation will be provided. In response to those who might be hesitant or with minimal flexibility in their schedules, dozens of these ideas will be low risk, low cost, and low time. The majority of these ideas will be implementable in face-to-face as well as online and blended classes.
