Are you actively listening? As an educator? As a peer? As a person learning to engage with the world? “There is no learning if we are not learning!” #springctl

[Centre for Teaching and Learning @westernuCTL]

Fun active listening activities with Angela Borchert at Spring Perspectives #springctl

"I tell my students they're going to be influencing the way I think and I’m going to be guiding them. They find that empowering; it makes them feel part of a community, which is a big part of my goal.” - #WesternU prof @SolgaKim #TeachingEx #cdnpse @timeshighered @THEworldsummits

The students' take on #activelearning classrooms - an interesting read on how students would approach classroom design!

[Mosaic Initiative @MosaicIU]

Students at @IndianaUniv shared their thoughts about learning spaces with us, and we were thrilled to listen. Take a look at what they designed! #activelearning #learningspaces @IUClassrooms @InsideUITS https://t.co/pMuOHUrAeI

#Technology – no matter how cool or cutting edge – is only as valuable as the teaching behind it. #WesternU #nursing prof Barb Sinclair shares her thoughts on #tech as a #teaching tool. #TeachingEx #cdnpse @timeshighered @THEworldsummits https://t.co/KfQawL3LIz

[Western University @WesternU]

Good luck on your final exams #WesternU, you've got this!

[Dr. Beth Hundey @bhundey]

In day 2 of UN #climatechange negotiations, we reached about 2 degrees of warming. I'm really proud of the UN delegates.

Student presentations in WALS - wonderful use of the space's tech capabilities, @drodenhi1!

[David Rodenhiser @drodenhi1]

Pleased & proud of my @westernubiochem 4455G students and their Translation in Cancer Biology presentations Tuesday night! Very insightful, thorough, and professionally-presented talks @westernuWALS @westernuSuccess #community #engaged #learning… 1/2

[WALS @westernuWALS]

Check out A&H's faculty member Kim Solga's recent blog post on her experience teaching in WALS. Kim reflects on how the classroom space has helped foster a supportive group dynamic in her class!

OMG SPACE. Proper classroom space! https://t.co/WUH3lg2mpU via @solgakimgmailco

[WALS @westernuWALS]

Teaching this summer? ✔️
Is your class <50 students? ✔️
Consider swapping your traditional classroom for an #activelearning classroom on campus! Open to all main campus faculty - including sessional instructors!

Students teaching students! Awesome use of WALS @bhundey!

[Dr. Beth Hundey @bhundey]

There's no better way to understand than to teach someone else (citation, year).
Today #westernu @uwo_gps students teach each other about their expert sections of the @IPCC_CH special report on 1.5 degrees and #climatechange in @westernuWALS

[WALS @westernuWALS]

Very impressive!

[Dr. Beth Hundey @bhundey]

Excited for next week, when our #envirochange class will present and write about their research on #EnvironmentalChange in @westernuWALS! Check out the word cloud I made from our abstract book. @uwo_gps #geography #westernu

"When you use the "Start, Stop, Continue" strategy, you open the forum for students to share what they're thinking, feeling, and experiencing in the classroom."

A great strategy to use mid-term to check-in on students' experiences in the #activelearning classroom!
