Innovation requires whole-brain thinking—right-brain thinking for creativity and imagination, and left-brain thinking for planning and execution. Our current approach to education in science and technology, focuses on the transfer of information, developing mostly right-brain thinking by stressing copying and reproducing existing ideas rather than generating new ones. I will show how shifting the focus in lectures from delivering information to team work and creative thinking greatly improves the learning that takes place in the classroom and promotes independent thinking.</p><h3>About Dr. Eric Mazur</h3><p>Dr. Eric Mazur is the Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University and Area Dean of Applied Physics.

One of them, SiOnyx, is SiOnyx is commercializing a patented semiconductor process, discovered in Mazur’s lab, that dramatically enhances the infrared sensitivity of silicon-based photonics. Another, Learning Catalytics, a company developing a software platform for interactive teaching, was recently acquired by Pearson. Mazur is Chief Academic Advisor for Turning Technologies, a company developing interactive response systems for the education market.</p><p>In addition to his work in optical physics, Dr. Mazur is interested in education, science policy, outreach, and the public perception of science. He believes that better science education for all–not just science majors–is vital for continued scientific progress. Dr. Mazur’s teaching method has developed a large following, both nationally and internationally, and has been adopted across many science disciplines.</p><p>Dr. Mazur is author or co-author of close to three hundred scientific publications, numerous patents, and several books, including Peer Instruction: A User’s Manual (Prentice Hall, 1997), a book that explains how to teach large lecture classes interactively, and Principles and Practice of Physics (Pearson, 2014), a book that presents a groundbreaking new approach to teaching introductory calculus-based physics. Mazur is a sought-after speaker on optics and on education.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>2015 Recap</title> <link>https://symposium.tlt.psu.edu/2015/09/2015-recap/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[djb38]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2015 19:19:56 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://sites.psu.edu/tltsymposium/?p=1797</guid> <description><![CDATA[A Snowy First Day of Spring For the second consecutive year, the TLT Symposium covered both floors of the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center.
