Flipped Classrooms and Amazing Race Outdoor Library Workshops

Abstract

This presentation will cover one-shot instruction sessions. These include a flipped classroom approach using professionally developed videos that required acquiring funding, creating an animated character, storyboarding and finding the perfect narrator. I will also discuss teaching outdoors using mobile devices; incorporating Special Collections into my classes and creating an Amazing Race based on the television show, but using books with profanity in the titles. In the past, I have taught dressed in a full pirate costume as well as in the virtual world of Second Life. I’m happy to answer questions about any of my unconventional sessions.
