About his presentation
“The most important benefits to using technology occur outside of the classroom. This talk focuses on the “why” and discusses how simple technologies can greatly increase your students’ engagement and prepare them for real discussions by providing content and assessment before class time. The argument is that technology can be used to free the teacher from the need to “cover” the content in the classroom, and instead use class time to demonstrate the continued value of direct student to faculty interaction and discussion. The goal and the future value of most higher education depends upon non-technological face-to-face interaction with students, but we have instead often embraced the least interactive forms of technology (e.g., PowerPoint lectures). “Teaching naked” offers an alternative strategy for improved pedagogy and learning through technology.” – Dr. José Bowen
For more information about this topic, please read the following article by Dr. Bowen,"Teaching Naked: Why Removing Technology From the Classroom Will Improve Student Learning" published in the National Teaching & Learning Forum.
