Active+Learning+Resources

=[|Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT): Active Learning Strategies]= This site has great links for active learning, inquiry, cooperative learning and motivating and engaging students. Check it out for tons of great resources!

=[|Bringing Lessons to Light!]= The lessons contained within the link above are about Electricity, Energy Conservation and Lighting. Keep in mind, they were produced by GE so many aspects may seem a bit biased or like they are trying to promote their own product. However, these lessons provide great learning activities for students to do at school and within the classroom. Just so you are aware, these are available in PDF format but the file is too large to attach to a wiki.

= = =[|National Dropout Prevention Center/Network (NDPC/N): Active Learning]= Short article that explains the role of active learning in preventing students from dropping out of school.

=Brought to You by the Zoo!= These lessons are provided by the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA.

With some direct instruction to introduce the topic and great guiding questions, this first one could be an awesome active learning activity (weather permitting, of course).



This next one could combine service-learning and active learning strategies for an even more powerful impact and greater learning experience.
