ANNOUNCEMENTS
Records retention seminar planned
On Wednesday, Aug. 24 from 9 to 10 a.m. in Grosvenor West 111, Bill Kimok,
university archivist and records manager, will be at OU-HCOM to give a power
point presentation on records retention. The policy for records retention
establishes general guidelines and procedures by which to assure economy and
efficiency in the identification, retention, retrieval, preservation and
destruction of university records in compliance with state and federal
regulations.
It is very important that each Department Head designate someone in their
department to attend this meeting to establish and maintain compliance with
current records retention guidelines specific to records that are created or
received by their office.
The session also will be available via video conferencing at the CORE
sites. Please contact Dan Smith at 593-2460 to notify him that you will be
attending via videoconference so he knows which room to connect.
E-waste recycling available
The university has installed E-waste cabinets for the recycling of cell phones,
toner cartridges or ink jet cartridges, batteries (rechargeable or regular dry
cell batteries) as well as CDs and compact florescent bulbs. Most of the green
and white cabinets are located in lobby areas of buildings, but the cabinets in
Grosvenor Hall are located on the ground floor near Grosvenor West. The cabinets
in Irvine Hall are located on The Bricks, and the cabinets in the ARC are
located in the atrium/living room near the OU-HCOM Society of Alumni and Friends
Café, and the vending area between the building and Irvine Hall.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Faculty Development Tidbit:
Instructional Strategy to Engage Learners: “In
The Hot Seat”
|
Purpose:
To motivate student learning
Description:
In this activity, several students will be asked
to sit in the "Hot Seat" and answer questions
related to the topic of study.
Procedure:
1.
Prior to the beginning of class, the teacher
will prepare questions related to the topic of
study and write them on sticky notes. Four
to five questions are usually enough.
2.
Place the sticky notes underneath student
desks/chairs so that they are hidden from view.
3. At
the start of the class, inform students that
several of them are sitting on "Hot Seats" and
will be asked to answer questions related to the
topic of study for the day.
4.
Have students check their desks/chairs for the
strategically placed sticky notes.
5.
Students who have questions on sticky notes will
then take turns reading the question and
attempting to provide an answer. Due to
the nature of this motivational activity, these
should be questions that students are able to
answer.
Sample Hot Seat Questions:
Internet:
1. What is your favorite
search engine and why?
2. When was the last
time you used the internet to complete a
classroom assignment?
3. If you had to
recommend a website to a friend, which one would
you pick and why?
4. What do you think
would be the impact if the Internet was gone
tomorrow?
5. Do you think that
students should be allowed to use the Internet
unsupervised? Why or why not? |
NOTE FROM STEVE: This looks like it could be great fun and a good
“Attention Step” to any lesson. You could use a “Do You Want To Be A
Millionaire” approach and allow the student to call on a friend or collaborate
with three close students/colleagues. Great for review and perhaps preview
to see who has done the reading (if you use it for the latter…WARN them first
that that’s what you’re doing…students will respond much better if they know
what’s coming).
