No Doc Cam? No Problem!

Remote teaching can turn into an expensive gig. But do you know who is always on a tight budget, and really knows how to think outside the box? Teachers, that's who!
Laptops, webcams, document cameras... working from home can be effective, but it also takes work and often some specialized equipment. That gets expensive - and even if you don't mind spending the money, the demand is very high so it can be a challenge to get hold of the hardware that you want. Fortunately, there are a lot of clever (and determined!) teachers out there, and luckily for us, they share on social media!

Let's take one example that the CTLA has been fielding questions about - the document camera. No doc cam? No problem!

Live Online Live... Some Good News edition!

Yesterday was another awesome LOL session with our CGCC faculty - I'll send everyone the link to the recording as soon as I'm done editing!
Picture
If you’ve never watched John Krasinksi’s “Some Good News” on YouTube, you really need to – in the wake of the COVID pandemic outbreak last spring, he sat in his home office and offered some desperately needed balance to all of the bad news that was everywhere by seeking out and sharing Some Good News! He broadcast stories of first responders, spread joy by holding virtual prom and virtual graduation for the Class of 2020, brought together everyday heroes with their personal heroes, and generally created a sense of connectedness to his audience in an unprecedented period of social isolation.

There were some updates (dare I say, improvements...?) to Webex in the last few days, and your faithful CTLA staff are working hard to create resources that will bring you up to speed on the new features that are available! But for today, I just wanted to help with one existing feature that looks a little different this week - the "mute/unmute" buttons!

Do you ever click on the wrong course in your Canvas Dashboard because they all look much the same? Does your active course have the Base Camp badge on it (which could confuse your students)?
This week's tip will help you!

As most of you know by now, I am a super-visual person - being able to distinguish my courses visually is a big help to me in locating the course that I want to work on within Canvas. Here are some tips to help you visually differentiate your Canvas courses - a more unique look to your course will also help students locate it faster in their Dashboards!
