Join us for "Make 'em Laugh Again: Using Humor as a Tool for Learning" to discuss using humor in the classroom at this year's Academy of Management conference!
Join us in this interactive PDW where you can learn more about the dynamics that enable effective humor use in the classroom, even if you are not a comedian.
In the workshop, you will gain insights into relevant humor literature, observe and critique video examples of humor in the classroom and gain a "humor toolbox" of ways you can incorporate humor into your teaching. You will have the opportunity to hear from humor enthusiasts who successfully incorporate the use of humor in their classrooms and discuss ways you might use explore using humor in the future.
The PDW will be held on Friday, August 4th from 12:00 - 2:00PM in the Hilton Atlanta Room 223. No pre-registration required.
