Yes! You CAN make your class interactive! - Dr. Rachel Sale


Dr. Sale discussed options such as taking an assignment that requires students to create a powerpoint and showing the change to "create your own powerpoint, narrate it as a presentation to your fellow teachers, co-workers" and use the Upload to PP option. Students are lead to an active role instead of uploading content into a dropbox. She focused on taking a static course with mostly discussions and file uploads to an environment that reaches out to students and asks them to be active learners.
