Month: November 2019

And now the end is near

Last Wednesday in the semester, for those remaining classes here is a fun way to check that they have been reading and listening.  Turning Point Cloud, login with your ECU credentials, click to connect to ResponseWare and you can use your PowerPoint presentation or Anywhere Polling to check on what has been retained.  Students download the app on their phone, tablet or laptop.  Enter the code to connect and you are on your way!  Contact this office for a demo to do it your way!

Yes it is!

Only 3 weeks to Thanksgiving break, 4 weeks to reading day and finals begin! But not to belabor that point here are some tips for keeping above water.

  • It is harder for your students, you’ve been here before
  • Calendar activities and set reminders
  • Make notes on what worked and what didn’t (this will help when you transition Fall 2019 BB courses to Canvas Fall 2020)
  • Make lists, there are various programs and apps which can be used to help keep you on track, many available through Office 365  such as To Do, OneNote, Class Notebook, and Teams.  Get used to using One Drive to store your files as you can link them with Canvas.
  • Take a break and watch a funny video, movie or walk outside!

What are your tips???
