BYBI: Challenges of Teaching Face-to-Face during COVID √ §
A Bring Your Best Idea Session!
Location
Online
Date & Time
March 2, 2022, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Description
Many faculty and students are happy to return to in-person classrooms, sharing the immediate learning environment and enriching it with props, tools, and our own physical presence. However, teaching face-to-face in COVID times also comes with challenges. How do we communicate clearly through masks? How do we adapt pre-COVID activities that require getting into each other’s physical space? How can we bring some community-building and engaging elements of the online classroom, such as the chat function and polling tools, into our in-person classrooms?
For Bring Your Best Idea sessions, we (locally) crowdsource answers to questions such as these. Please bring your best ideas for teaching in person during COVID to this lively, collaborative, and fast-paced sharing session. At the beginning of the session, participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the theme and write a brief description of a problem or a strategy related to the theme. Anyone who has an idea to share with the whole group will have two minutes to describe it. No slides please, though a link to a handout is welcome. After 20-30 minutes of sharing ideas, we’ll shift to Q&A and discussion. Whether or not you bring an idea to share, you’ll leave this session with new food for thought and several new ideas you might try in your own course.
Please click “Going Virtually” below to reserve your seat for this
session, and we will send you a Google calendar invitation with a WebEx
link one hour before the session. If you register less than an hour
before the session, you will receive the WebEx link when you register.
Please email fdc@umbc.edu
if you have any questions. If you have registered and find that you can
no longer attend, please kindly release your spot so that others may
attend.
