Michele Gabbanelli presented on active learning techniques at TeachMeet International. Some traditional classroom techniques include desks in rows where students look down and work alone, just taking notes from paper books. Gabbanelli advocates for a more student-centered approach where students learn actively through social reading and commenting together, using MLTV frames to develop critical thinking, and service learning to serve the community while learning. The presentation concluded by combining various active learning techniques into a holistic approach.
