Abstract: <\/strong>Teaching digitally has forced us into a conversation with our webcam. The camera doesn\u2019t lie. Our verbal and nonverbal communication doesn\u2019t lie. In this workshop we will explore vocal and physical strategies for maximizing our impact in the classroom through personal vocal and physical engagement. By exploring the psycho\/social\/physio-vocal training methodologies of Lessac Kinesensic Training and Margolis Method we will explore ways to make your digital teaching more effective and teaching in-person with a mask more effective. We will explore ways to strengthen your vocal prowess and ways to cultivate physical energy whether in an online format or an in-person format. Ultimately, energy is energy is energy and we will explore how energy is manifested in the classroom, in the teacher, and in the student in order for the teacher to craft the best experience for the student to maximize teaching and learning.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr>

Using Starpoint Activities in Online Chat as a Method of Engaging Students<\/strong>

Nadun Kulasekera Mudiyanselage, MTU Mathematics Department
Co-Presented with Jacob Blazejewski
Wednesday, August 26 @ 3:30 PM

Abstract:<\/strong> This past academic year two MTU graduate teaching instructors set out to improve student engagement through Canvas\u2019 integrated online chat forum: Piazza.  We aimed to develop robust activities that helped build community among students and increase contact with the instructor beyond the stereotypical \u201cpost three observations from your reading and comment on two other observations.\u201d These activities were graded using a simple \u2018star points\u2019 rubric and student\u2019s participation counted as a portion of their final grade. We will share our rubric and demonstrate it live with an engagement activity.  Additionally, we will present data about the effectiveness and student\u2019s perceptions of star points in Precalculus and Differential Equations from three in-person sections and two online sections. We hope attendees will be inspired to use our easily adaptable activities within their own courses of any subject area.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr>
