Meaningful Student Engagement through Hands-on Learning and Mentors is a four-part webinar series offered through Infosys Foundation USA’s Pathfinders Online Institute, covering:
The foundations of experiential learning, including maker-centered learning
Leveraging career mentors from your community to build Social Emotional Learning
Developing meaningful student work products and sharing remote learning tools
Technology that can support your pedagogical practices
This series will help frontline educators, either new to experiential and maker-centered learning, or seasoned educators continue to develop their skills and enhance their best practices. While the series will have practical applications for multiple grade levels, our primary focus will be on 5th–8th grade educators.
Part four is Technology that supports Deeper Student Engagement. With the pivot to hybrid and remote learning, there is no shortage of tools and technology that are being thrown at educators today. Instead of working within the limitations of the technology, we’ll explore some of the most useful technologies that drive student engagement and support the academic content. We’ll demonstrate practical tools you can use for experiential learning and maker centered learning. These tech tools will break up the monotony of traditional classroom instruction, as well as inject excitement, releasing students from the fatigue from remote learning.
Instructors: Sebastian Byers (Program Experience Manager, Makers + Mentors Network) and Anna Yu (Chief Growth Officer)
