Anne Makin

Congratulations to Anne Makin who won the Most Interactive Display award at the 2009 Strut Your Stuff Internship Showcase! Anne, a Ph.D. graduate student majoring in Instructional Psychology and Technology, participated in an internship with BYU where she taught 20 pre-service elementary school teachers. Modeling a pattern of effective teaching, Anne taught theories and practices of Educational Psychology while establishing a connection with her students through directive feedback and collaboration. “This internship has allowed me to see learning and teaching soar as I have increased the ways students make connections to the content,” reflects Anne of her internship. “My hope from this experience is to share with other students and teachers how emphasizing and increasing even small connections directly improves learning and teaching.”
