I co-wrote this attached article with Rich Bellon to describe how to better frame the "value" of HPS courses for students taking required humanities courses for an audience of History & Philosophy of Science educators. It's called "How to engage students in required HPS courses, part 2: The "value" of HPS" It was published in the Canadian Society for HPS' Communiqué newsletter in Autumn 2023 in the "Innovative Pedagogy" section (p.30-31). If you teach an IAH class or another Gen Ed course it might be helpful advice for how to frame the benefits of your course.

We invite you to submit a proposal to present at the 2025 Virtual Appreciative Education Conference, which will be held on January 10, 2025.

The Appreciative Education Conference will bring together educators, practitioners, and researchers from all levels dedicated to fostering positive and strengths-based learning environments. Appreciative Education Conference attendees will include PreK-12 teachers and administrators; higher education faculty, staff, and Administrators; students of all ages; and community leaders. We seek dynamic proposals on topics related to Appreciative Education from energetic presenters. In creative and interactive presentations, educators will share how they utilize an Appreciative approach to support and challenge students, their campuses, and/or themselves to reach their potential.

The deadline for proposal submission is July 1, 2024. https://www.fau.edu/education/centersandprograms/oae/virtual-appreciative-education-conference/submit-proposal/

As we begin to think about the Fall 2024 semester -- Starting in less than one month. . . Yikes! -- here are a couple of links to Sam Kary's Next Generation Teacher Youtube channel that might be interesting to mine for ideas when it comes to student use of digital tools as part of our courses and classrooms:

Chat GPT for Teachers | Beginners' Tutorial -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4HJZzwt3lY

Ignite Student Creativity with These Unique Projects -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-oISKlEesg


Hope this might be interesting and helpful if you are looking to shake up things a bit. Besides Sam Kary, there are a few other teachers/professors/authors who have lots of useful advice on how to liven up our courses and classrooms in the digital age, including how we might use AI in our courses and classrooms. I've included links to their Youtube channels below:
