CHED: Innovative Classroom Tools and After-school Activities

Forum for instructors and teachers, at all levels, to share novel educational activities and teaching methods developed for use in the classroom, or in an after school setting. Papers should describe how these activities help reinforce the core curricula, enhance student learning, keep students’ attention, and stimulate their desire to learn. Of particular interest are those activities that introduce a level of fun or novelty into the classroom, or convey difficult concepts with a new level of clarity.
