  4. Important Notes • Most of the information presented in this workshop represents the presenters’ opinions and not an official NSF position. • Local facilitators will provide the link to the workshop slides at the completion of the webinar. • Participants may ask questions by “raising their virtual hand” during a question session. We will call on selected sites and enable their microphone so that the question can be asked. • Responses will be collected from a few sites at the end of each Exercise. At the start of the Exercise, we will identify these sites in the Chat Box and then call on them one at a time to provide their responses.

  5. Framework for the Session • Learning must build on prior knowledge • Some knowledge correct • Some knowledge incorrect – Misconceptions • Learning is • Connecting new knowledge to prior knowledge • Correcting misconceptions • Learning requires engagement • Actively recalling prior knowledge • Sharing new knowledge • Forming a new understanding

  6. Preliminary CommentsActive & Collaborative Learning • Effective learning activities • Recall prior knowledge -- actively, explicitly • Connect new concepts to existing ones • Challenge and alter misconceptions • Active & collaborative processes • Think individually • Share with partner • Reportto local and virtual groups • Learn from program directors’ responses

  7. Facilitator’s Duties • Coordinate the local activities • Watch the time • Allow for think, share, and report phases • Reconvene on time -- 1 min warning • With one minute warning, refer to Chat Box to see if you will be asked for a response • Ensure the individual think phase is devoted to thinking quietly and not talking • Coordinate the asking of questions by local participants and reporting local responses to exercises Handout 1
