3. Objective Tonight we will learn how to infuse Active Participation & Linked Learning into the curriculum using PowerPoint lessons in the secondary classroom. We will also explore various resources to incorporate technology into our daily lessons.

4. Purpose The purpose of this workshop is to show various types of Active Participation strategies that can be used during a PowerPoint (technology based) lesson to help raise students’ motivation, level of concern, and participation. Incorporating the components of Linked Learning into lessons, students will understand the connection between what they are learning and how it fits into “real world” context as well as prepare them for college and careers.

6. Active Participation: Active participation is the consistent, ongoing, simultaneous involvement of the minds of all learners with the content. Linked Learning: Linked Learning transforms students’ high school experience by bringing together strong academics, demanding career and technical education, and real- world experience to help students gain an advantage in high school, postsecondary education, and careers.

8. Model Lesson by Ed Samuels, Math Department Using a lesson on circumference of a circle, I will demonstrate the use of various active participation strategies and ways in which to incorporate the Linked Learning Pathways into lessons to make them more meaningful to students. While I present the lesson, participants will use the Active Participation grid to identify and label where strategies were used throughout the lesson.
