Speaker:
Dr. Amita Gupta, Professor of Education, Dept. of Curriculum and Instruction, City University of New York,

Description: When young students are given an opportunity to engage in the application of what they are
learning about, whether in the classroom, field, community, simulated environment or some other out-of-
class/hands-on experience, it helps to solidify understanding and align theory and practice. Skill-based and
competency-based learning is essential to help young students build 21st century skills and hence the need for
an experiential education methodology from early school years becomes important in today’s time. In this
session, the participants we will gain insights into:
 The importance and interlink between experiential learning and skill development
 Tools and resources to design experiential activities for students and the role of the teacher
 Best practices in implementing this methodology in the classroom

Prescription for the Current "Infodemic": Engaging and Empowering Students through Media Literacy
Monday, 10 Aug 2020, 6.00-7.30pm IST
Speaker:
Dr. Cyndy Scheibe, Founder and Executive Director, Project Look Sharp at Ithaca College, USA
Mr. Chris Sperry, Director of Curriculum & Staff Development, Project Look Sharp at Ithaca College, USA
Description: In today’s increasingly complex and media-saturated world, both teachers and students are faced
with an “Infodemic” of misinformation. Educators need instructional strategies for teaching the media literacy
and critical thinking skills necessary to judge credibility in all types of media messages. Curriculum-driven,
question-based constructivist media decoding (CMD) leverages this power by engaging students at all grade
levels in collaborative analysis of media messages through participatory learning, inquiry and reflection. In this
session, participants will:
 view demonstrations of CMD in classroom settings
 gain access to hundreds of free classroom-ready resources and models for integrating CMD
 find guidelines for using synchronous and asynchronous approaches to engage students in CMD as
part of both face-to-face and online learning
