Philanthropic Teaching Activities to Make a Difference in our Communities and in our World

Valerie Lynn Schrader, Ohio University

As educators, we not only seek to help our students learn concepts about communication, we seek to help them apply these concepts in the real world. We hope that they will use their knowledge in ways that will improve their own lives and the lives of others. By incorporating philanthropic activities into our classes, we can show our students how they can make a difference in their local communities, in their country, and in the world. This short course will provide an overview of philanthropic teaching techniques, as well as an explanation of how this type of project differs from service-learning. Examples of various philanthropic classroom projects will be included. Participants will also be provided the opportunity to design a philanthropic project for their own class.
