Profiles of Success: Thank You FOR CARING SO DEEPLY FOR OUR STUDENTS

​In this season of giving thanks, we, your CTLA, want to say thank you to all the members of our CGCC community. It is a privilege to work each and every day with a group of people so committed to seeing our students succeed.

​One amazing example of that commitment is found in our Administration of Justice Studies friends, Lisa Ruschak and Gregg Jacquin. Please take a moment to listen to their story, and take some inspiration with you into the Thanksgiving holiday.

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)

Just so everyone knows, I won't be posting next week. Also, in lieu of a Live session next Tuesday afternoon, we encourage you to peruse the prerecorded sessions!

DID YOU KNOW that the LOL content can be helpful for ANY class, in ANY teaching modality? Yes, we had fun with the name, but there are useful tips and tools for any instructor, whether they are teaching synchronously, asynchronously, hybrid, or - eventually - face-to-face. Click on any of the session icons below to watch the recording!
