Teachers as Designers

phernandez

Sponsored by SAGE: Student Association for Graduate Education
An Evening with Dr. Pedro Hernandez-Ramos

When: Friday April 3rd

Where: Santa Clara University Library & Learning Commons

Time: 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm

The most common mental model for teaching work involves transmission of, and control over, the flow of information in the classroom. In this presentation I will argue for the view that, in light of substantially different 21st century needs, teachers should conceptualize their work as that of "learning designers." Learning to think as a designer is challenging, and designing learning activities is, in many ways, more difficult than traditional lesson planning, but the rewards for both teachers and learners are quite substantial and thus worth the effort. How to meaningfully integrate technology into learning activities at all grade levels is also a challenge that needs to be considered, given how attractive new technologies are for young people.
