Last week, we offered the "Survival Tips for Navigating Live Online" on Monday 1/11 for Faculty Convocation, and again on Wednesday 1/13 as part of CGCC's Week of Accountability offerings. Between the two sessions we had nearly 150 attendees!

If you missed both of the LOL sessions, you can still get the info by watching the video below.


RESOURCES:
  • Get your own copy of the slides from the "Survival Tips" session: https://bit.ly/LOL-convocationslides
  • Use the LOL Suggestion Box (https://bit.ly/LOLsuggestionbox) to share:
    • Topics you would like to see in future LOL sessions
    • Ideas you would be willing to share (we'd love to have anyone who is interested as a guest, or to have small groups with a common interest as a panel!)
    • Questions or comments you may have about LOL specifically, or about synchronous online teaching in general!
  • Remember, this Spring LOL will be on 2nd and 4th Tuesday afternoons from 2:30-3:30 PM! The session room will open 15 minutes prior to start time. No registration necessary - just use this link to join: https://bit.ly/LiveOnlineLive
We hope to see all of you at next week's LOL session!

monitoring your spring class rosters for student attendance and participation

1/14/2021

0 Comments

 
This spring, Maricopa Community Colleges modified its enrollment procedures to focus on helping students manage the cost of attending college. Since January 7, students have not been dropped for non-payment while our colleagues in enrollment services assist them with payment arrangements.

As a result, it is critically important for you to closely monitor student attendance and participation during the first week of classes, and to make every effort to communicate with students who appear to be no-shows. Please take a few minutes to watch this video for further information and instructions.

Not just surviving, but thriving!

So here we are, the last Tuesday of the Fall 2020 semester… Let’s face it, just the fact that you are still here (and reading my Tuesday message) is a major win!
There is no teaching tip from me to you this week; instead I wanted to offer kudos to you, one and all, for surviving one heck of a year.

But as I was watching the first “Ditch Summit” video this morning (see last week’s Tech Tuesday post), one thing that stood out to me was the suggestion that perhaps it is time for us to gravitate toward the notion of thriving, rather than merely surviving, in this COVID-and-beyond environment. The more I considered it, the more I realized how much evidence there has been among my CGCC colleagues of growth (personal and professional), dedication to students and their learning, and continued excellence in spite of – or perhaps because of – the pandemic. So, I hope that you’ll allow me to share just a few of the positives that I’ve observed over these last nine months:

What's better than FREE?!!

Soooooooo… 2020 has been a long haul for all of us, and the last thing you are thinking about right now is professional development, but how often do you get the opportunity for a FREE Teaching Summit with dozens of available video presentations?  And it all takes place over Winter Break, so you don’t have that old “I’m so busy… classes… students… meetings…” hanging over your head – you can just kick back and enjoy!

The Best $30 You'll Ever Spend...

11/10/2020

0 Comments

You all know that I am the biggest advocate ever for free tools, but this week I want to share one of the most-used tools in my arsenal, which did in fact cost me about $30 - TechSmith's SnagIt.

A lot of software companies these days work on a subscription basis, but the $29.99 education price pays for a license, not a periodic subscription fee (you will need to provide proof that you are an educator in order to take advantage of the education pricing).
​
I use SnagIt pretty much on a daily basis, for many tasks:
  • To create graphs for handouts
  • Capturing images, especially for guides and how-to documents
  • Editing, resizing, setting transparent backgrounds, image reflections, text overlays, etc.
  • Combining images for headers, slides, etc.
  • Screencasting (I use it regularly to provide students with video feedback)
