Bland to Grand: Bringing Content to Life
LIMITED
Thursday July 16, 2026 11:15am - 12:00pm CDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Ever sit through a session and it is drier than the Sahara and it is a struggle to stay awake? Students face this struggle everyday with content that they feel is irrelevant to their daily lives or content that is simply "boring". With student attention spans becoming lower and lower the content needs to evolve. This session will show strategies that can take a boring and dry content and bring hands on learning strategies that keep the students wondering "What will happen next?"

Participants will be able to identify characteristics of engaging vs. non-engaging instructional practices and take the "bland" content and transform it into an engaging lesson that is fun for all learners.
