Fischler College Participates in the Great American Teach-In

Lillian Ibanez Greico, Assistant Director & Educator, NSU Teaching Academy at Tampa Bay, participated in Pinellas County Schools Great American Teach-In.

Greico used Mursion, a simulation software, and developed a presentation on Mako Sharks (the NSU mascot) to showcase how the technology is being used at NSU’s Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice to sharpen lesson presentation and classroom management skills of teacher candidates. After the demonstration, Greico encouraged students not to be “another fish in another school, but to be an NSU Shark,” and concluded the presentation with allowing student volunteers to interact with the avatars to encourage participation in their club or sport (students spoke about the eSports Gamers Club, Wrestling Team, Chorus etc.).

The Great American Teach-In is an annual, nationwide event during which guests from various trades and expertise visit classrooms to challenge students to begin thinking about future career paths.  What a great way to encourage the importance of a college education and inspire a career in teacher education! Fins Up!
