Join us for a quick chat about ideas for getting students AND adults standing up, walk around, and get reinvigorated in your classes.

Shannon shares about a round table presentation she gave through a video format which invited attendees to watch on their own device while walking around rather than having to sit still for an hour and a half straight. This same format can be used in our face-to-face and online classes AND for professional development or department meetings to keep everyone awake and engaged.

Shout out to Craig Nieman of the University of South Florida for modeling this round table presentation option last year!
