“Academic-Community Partnerships to Enhance Student Education and Wellness of Disabled/Injured Populations”

In this presentation, we will share our idea and establishment of a wellness class for individuals with disabilities. The class utilizes the idea of using student wellness coach approach as a way to build partnerships between the academia and the community. The goals of the wellness class are to 1) provide valuable hands-on patient experience that will better prepare UGA students for future professional training in the field of healthcare; 2) offer an affordable and sustainable wellness program that serves as a motivational and educational resource to help people with disabilities adopt a healthy lifestyle. We will discuss our instructional experiences and how the class has been evolved over the three semesters that has been taught.

Innovation 20/20 with Dr. Sylvia Nogueron-Liu

Dr. Sylvia Nogueron-Liu
“Life after Teaching with Tech #EpicFail Moments: The Paper/Screen Balancing Act”

In this presentation, I will share my rationale and theoretical foundations to engage students in the use of digital tools in courses related to literacy instruction. My goals usually include the critical examination of such tools, as well as dialogue and reflection about the affordances of technology in the classroom. Implementing these goals requires hands-on experience in both face-to-face and online interaction, as we navigate and try out applications and online platforms. I have found that an important part of this process is to carefully examine those moments when things just don’t work. Or when we can’t make them work. I will share some insights on the shifts in my instruction and planning after debriefing and troubleshooting, as I try to maintain a balance and well-informed choice of print-based and screen-based activities and materials.
