Open Teaching Week kicks off on March 17 and we're previewing the week's activities with some video guided course tours. Brett Whysel walks us through the structure of his Brightspace course using the video introduction that he shares with students. Brielle Buckler shares how she creates graphical "student contact cards" to build community and help students feel seen and engaged.
What if you could create a happier and more engaged classroom, build a sense of belonging, and support a growth mindset without much effort? The Effortless Mindfulness in the Classroom Toolkit, an open educational resource, provides everything you need to incorporate brief, effective mindfulness exercises into your teaching routine, regardless of your prior experience with mindfulness or meditation.
Service learning can be an effective way to teach in a way that ensures engagement while building collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills that employers love. The challenge is finding an opportunity that is accessible, free, flexible, and of authentic service to the community.
