Experimenting with innovative teaching approaches & sharing the results I experiment with all kinds of ideas including gallery walks or a town hall meeting in large classes, an inter-university graduate class and playing games. I share these ideas through the blog posts on teaching. |
Promoting active learning in the classroom I promote active learning in a number of ways including using student response systems (usually clickers) to conduct conceptests (see website description), jigsaws (see website description), weekly ‘water in the news’ updates and in-class discussions. |
Get out of the classroom to experience the natural and built environment We get out of the classroom for field trips, assignments and scavenger hunts for hydrologic features in the natural and built environment, so students experience the creek in the backyard and know what green infrastructure looks like. |
