About:
No one wants a class of zombies. Unless, of course, you’re teaching about them! Melissa Johnson and Tracey Rinehart from Southern Methodist University built a research LibGuide that they rely on as one of their primary teaching tools for a gamified instruction session.
The guide allows them to facilitate the session's pacing, suggest reliable research sources, spring a video surprise on students, and includes an embedded method for participants to share their final work. Students that participate in the When Zombies Attack session are invested, engaged and leaders of unique learning experiences. Attend this session to learn more!
This event will be streamed via Facebook Live!
