Crowdsourcing Ideas for Community Building and Growth

Smith showed some cool community building cards that serve as a good reminder to do things. Zakrajsek did mention that the cards are not necessary to create communities. They started with three questions: What […]

Relational Cultural Theory and Taxonomies

Harriet Schwartz from Carlow University talked about “Connected Teaching” as part of the 2021 Lilly Conference Online. The recording started a little bit (I hope) into the conversation, yet just in time to watch Schwartz talking about the importance of relational teaching. Schwartz mentioned being authentic yet knowing how much to disclose and still help […]

nQuire and Jelastic?

Tonight’s OERxDomains21 session was by Nashwa Ismail and Christothea Herodotou and focused on online citizen science. This is timely since yesterday we were trying to figure out an appropriate way of mentioning in text citizen science and emphasizing that it is for all, not only citizens! This session was entitled “How can facilitation by experts […]

Reflecting on Teaching and My Mentors

A couple of weeks ago, I had the fantastic opportunity to talk to Dr. Barbi Honeycutt and be on the Lecture Breakers podcast. I consider Dr. Honeycutt as one of teaching mentors: when I first came to NC State in 2012, Barbi had a series of workshops to help graduate students and postdoctoral scholars become […]

Modeling Learning

I receive the ACUE newsletter and often find interesting articles or links to talks. The email this week included a session entitled “Success for Every Student Through Effective Teaching” that is part of ACUE’s panel discussion from the California Community College Association for Occupational Education (CCCAOE) Conference. I watched it tonight after getting my first dose […]

Building Communities with Kindness

I had a fun day reconnecting with former students who have now become colleagues and collaborators. How cool! Their energy, willingness to teach me new things about technical writing and videos, and kindness have always been evident despite communicating only every couple of months. Kindness! That’s why when I saw Dr. Mica Estrada’s SABER talk […]

A Culture of Caring

It was a long day… too many Zoom calls! To wrap up the day, I wanted something uplifting and continued watching the spring 2021 SABER series. The second talk this spring was by Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab from Temple University on February 4, 2021. The session was entitled “Addressing students’ basic needs with a culture of […]

M-LoCUS?

I’ve been thinking about Dr. Jeff Maloy’s JMBE Live presentation a couple of weeks ago. I watched part of it live, then watched the recording a week ago, and returned to it today after sharing the link and talking about it this week. Maloy is teaching faculty at UCLA with extensive experience in education research. […]

Gutters, Gold, and Social Annotation

It was a tough week with several heartbreaking stories from our students and instructors. I love trying to help and have felt frustration in not knowing how! I do appreciate the active listening and reaching out that has been happening. All is not lost or in the gutter (I’ll return to this later!), we received […]
