Help students grow into their potential by planting the seeds of play into their research! This session will discuss the benefits of the flipped classroom model, how we use asynchronous Canvas modules to supplement instruction, and discuss two of our IL in-class exercises. Our "Scandalous Celebrity Background Check" and "Don't Stop There! Working with Primary Sources" exercises encourage critical thinking, classroom discussion, exploring new information, and transferring these skills to their research assignments. These exercises accomplish this with a blend of fun, scandalous, and topical academic and popular topics. Together we'll discuss, brainstorm, and share how these exercises can be adapted to your libraries.
Participants will:
- be able to understand, reproduce, and adapt the Celebrity Background Check and Don't Stop There! Working with Primary Sources exercises for their own schools.
- be able to recognize the value in the flipped classroom method in allowing a more engaging one-shot IL session.
- understand how creating a playful learning environment will help students retain the information and encourage students to continue using the library.
