How many backpacks is adequate? According to ads on my other social media accounts - I am not there yet. Here is my #introduction. I am a clinical psychologist that went back to academia and turned professor. My research is in the intersection between clinical, social and work psychology. Three major topics for the time being: #musicianshealth, #thefutureofwork and #socialanxiety.

I am fond of experimenting with #podcasts #flippedclassroom, #experientiallearning and #simulation in my classes.

The Scripps Howard Fund is offering one-time grants of up to $30,000 to universities and nonprofits creating #ExperientialLearning projects that engage and encourage post-secondary students from under-represented groups in journalism to pursue journalism careers. The deadline to apply is September 30. For details, go to https://scripps.com/fund/journalism/grants/

Mandy Nix is a #CriticalZone scientist based at the University of #Vermont. This week she is taking part in a four day conference with a hundred fellow scientists who are all part of the ##NSF -funded Critical Zone Collaborative Network.

As part of the conference Network scientists guided field trips including one to the threatened #GreatSaltLake.

Nix describes how field trips like this contribute to the educational experience.

Took my AP Bio students outside for the first day of a three week long entomology project that involves creating an insect collection.

They were reluctant until we got out there w/ the nets & collecting jars. Then, the thrill of discovery (and the hunt) took over. By the end of the period, they were openly excited.

Mission accomplished.

#Sensors in #Science + #Tinkering 4 #Teachers. My new portable, bluetoothed, gas sensor modules, bringing biology, climate change & Air Quality into under served #school systems. My recent work has been developing #experientiallearning for #environmental #Education in #macedonia supported by UNICEF. Can be popped in a plastic bag & used to track rates of #photosynthesis outside in-situ. With a change of sensors we have used these to monitor airborne particle loads, and noxious gases.

In a love/hate relationship with my decision to teach a full-semester course this Spring, instead of just workshop like normal. It's great to work with the group over the full semester and build in #experientiallearning, but it also triples my average weekly prep time (plus grading).

It was a great opportunity to host the #raspberrypi Foundation India team at @makersasylum a couple of weeks back for a weekend of woodworking and team building fun.

Here is a brief video tutorial on how to find or create a summer internship. Please amplify to help this find its people ❤️https://youtu.be/B_G4PF_QU-E

#introduction. Hello Mastodon community! Just joined and excited to connect and engage within a kind and civil space. I live in #Buffalo and work at #UBuffalo as Director of the Experiential Learning Network. I connect students with the world through #experientiallearning and #digitalbadges. I focus on the UN #sdgs and collaborate with #ngos mostly in #africa through #projectbasedlearning. I look forward to connecting!

Designing and teaching @IdeasCongress@twitter.com (ICON) has been a career highlight.
The end of a teaching era can mean the beginning of new projects and I'm looking forward to wherever this journey takes me.

Observed: new electives need to be shiny to potential students, not just department/university goals. Either something jumps or I'll see 2 semesters of novel #experientialLearning courses cancelled via low enrollment, 1 grad, 1 UG. Looks like the revolution will be improving existing courses. #dataEducation #sociology

Oops, I just got a bit excited by creativity and novelty and explored a little of a rabbit warren on #RepertoryGridTechnique

I love participating in a diverse #CommunityOfPractice for these opportunities to be challenged, inspired, affirmed...

Anyone else playing around student conceptions of #ExperientialLearning #WorkIntegratedLearning #CooperativeEducation #PracticeEducation or the like?
