Bringing TED to Class - Hosting Virtual Conferences

Oct. 7, 2011 at 2pm ET - free to all.

Guests: Michael Amlung, University of Georgia

Integrating online content with the college classroom can help make courses more relevant and tailors our teaching to our students’ virtual worlds. I will be discussing the implementation of a "Virtual Conference" using TED.com in my undergraduate psychology courses at the University of Georgia. Students viewed a series of lecture podcasts by prominent psychologists via TED Talks, wrote brief commentaries on each lecture, and integrated what they learned in a short reflection paper. Audience members will learn how to incorporate online resources like TED.com into their courses, with particular emphasis on adapting this activity for a broad range of disciplines.
