Intentional Intersections: Tapping Into Learning Science With Technology
Educational technology holds a real promise for humanizing learning: it can help us translate evidence from the learning sciences into learning experiences that deepen understanding and build engagement. The impact, however, doesn’t come from the tools themselves – it comes from the design choices we make with them. In this keynote, Dr. Michelle Miller will share a practical framework for aligning three elements that are most powerful in combination: how learning works, how to foster motivation, and intentional applications of educational technology. You’ll leave with flexible, adaptable techniques you can apply immediately to make learning more effective and engaging, across disciplines and modalities.
Note: Dr. Miller will also lead an interactive workshop in the afternoon of Day One.
Dr. Michelle Miller is the author of Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology, Remembering and Forgetting in the Age of Technology: Teaching, Learning, and the Science of Memory in a Wired World, and A Teacher’s Guide to Learning Student Names: Why You Should, Why It’s Hard, How You Can. Dr. Miller completed her Ph.D. in cognitive psychology and behavioral neuroscience at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the Co-Executive Director of the Institute for Advancing Applications of AI, a Professor of Psychological Sciences and President’s Distinguished Teaching Fellow at Northern Arizona University.
