T34 MPD: Teaching Soft Skills with Games and Simulations

• In Event: Roundtables - Friday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables II - MPD

Short Description

Soft skills, including effective communication, time management, critical and creative thinking, and problem-solving, are diminishing as the world becomes more technical and relies on email, text, and social media (i.e., FaceBook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr) to interact with others. Presenters will host a brain-storming session on the availability, viability, and efficacy of using games and simulations to promote soft skills, as well as any recommendations for software that can be used to enhance soft skills lessons.
