Technology SIG: Making the Classroom Fun Again - Tips, Tricks, and a Case Study

ATD Dallas Technology SIG

We often think of learning technology as only for online learning. But you can take a page out of the eLearning developers’ handbook and make use of technology to augment traditional classroom activities. Adding even small layers of technology can give a facilitator what any good trainer wants – the undivided attention of the learner. This can have a transformative effect on your learners, increasing engagement, interactivity, and ultimately knowledge and skill retention. Join us for this informative discussion on incorporating technology into your next instructor-led workshop.

At the end of the session, you will be able to:

• Incorporate polling software to augment traditional group discussion and Q&A with your class.
• Use free software tools like Mindmeister and Trello for brainstorming activities.
• Use QR codes to simulate an Escape Room style activity.
• Add music and audio sound effects to enhance the learning experience.
