Designing Type I Learning Experiences
Brian Housand
University of North Carolina Wilmington
Description
A Type I Experience has the potential to supercharge students’ innate curiosity and propel them toward a lifetime of inquiry and investigation, but how do we effectively tap into students’ interests and purposefully construct a learning experience that promotes creative productive giftedness? In this session, we explore ways to leverage readily available technology and resources to build meaningful and memorable Type I Experiences based on students’ interests.
