Putting the FUN in Fundamentals: Using Games to Promote Learning in Developmental Education with Stacey HInkley

This highly energetic workshop will explore active learning techniques and strategies through various games and activities. Formats include ideas for whole class, small groups, pairs, and individual students. The presenter will model and present each game to the participants, so the participants can assess the effectiveness and fit of each activity with the needs of their students. The idea is to put the FUN in learning the FUNdamentals and offer alternatives to the traditional lecture. Games and activities can be easily adapted for use in any course.
