Critical Digital Pedagogy is not new?!

Carlos… speaks… slowly?

I finally did it. I watched our recorded presentation for the 2020 Lily Conference today. I recorded it in November in a single Zoom session with Deb and didn’t look back.

Mind in the Gutter Today!

Today was the first day of classes. It is still surreal to start when teaching an online asynchronous course, and I am starting to enjoy the thought process of designing an engaging online introduction to the course. We tried several new things this semester on our Start Here module for the Yeast Metabolic Engineering course. […]
