Using Short Film to Enhance STEM Instruction-Online
When: Synchronous Course Meetings on Tuesdays February 7th & 14th from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Instructor: Catherine Masrour
Audience: Educators
During this workshop, teachers will learn how to use short film to enhance instruction. Instead of introducing students to topics in STEM through traditional resources like textbooks and scholarly articles filled with jargon, this course will cover how using short films and documentaries can engage students with information. Connecting students to the human or ethical impact of a topic in STEM is one way to ensure meaningful learning. This program will show several short films and documentary clips and model how they could be used in the classroom to enhance instruction. In addition, teachers will learn how to locate short films and documentaries to use in their classrooms.
Please note: District approval is needed for in-service credit. (3 CTLE Hours)
