The Serious Role of Play in Learning

Session Description

We all know children learn a great deal while playing, but having fun during training or professional development programs may be seen as frivolous or a waste of time.

Scientific research begs to differ. Play breaks tensions during learning, provides fresh energy and helps teams build cohesion.

Adult play in workplace instruction enhances speed of learning and boosts performance results. But, what forms of fun work best in the diversity of instructional delivery?

Judith Blair and Nancy Maresh offer examples of highly effective games, a laughter lab, methods to engage employees through novel and refreshing activities backed by best practices and research.

Webinar participants will be able and motivated to:

• Distinguish among states of optimized stress and playfulness most conducive to learning, transfer and performance
• Design activities and program components that tap the brain's natural abilities to meet challenges fast and effectively
• Determine what tactics produce creative problem solving and resilience during training and beyond

Create your E-book for your Ipad

This is from :

http://langwitches.org/blog

Recently I had created a “Read-Along” book for our first graders to accompany their Magic Tree House podcast and am continuing  to have fun creating e-books for my iPad from Word Documents, pdfs and thematic blog posts from Langwitches. Next year, we will have an iPad cart to use with our students and I am looking forward to brainstorming more ideas and opportunities to allow students to create and organize their own e-books on the iPad.

• What are the advantages/disadvantages of creating our own e-books instead of purchased textbooks?
• What new learning opportunities can creating your e-book bring to your classroom?
• How can we integrate teacher-created e-books, personalized for students?
• Will student created e-books motivate, engage and empower learners?

Let’s put our heads together to think of the opportunities and possibilities. Have you already created and used your own e-books in your classroom. Please share your thoughts and ideas.
