Some PowerPoint Resuscitation

The PowerPoints have been created, the content has not really changed but why not shake it up a bit by adding interactive questions.

Some 30 PPT tips

With Microsoft 365 you can create a form (quiz) within your PowerPoint, students can download and click on the “quiz”, answer the questions and submit to you.  See the link below for instructions and contact this office if you want to give it a try!

Spring into Teams

Staying connected virtually will still be needed this spring. Microsoft Teams is a great way to stay connected synchronously and asynchronously.  Recently there were a series of webinars conducted by Jennifer Jury a Microsoft Learning Consultant.  The recordings are about an hour long and also offer files etc for referral.  You can Start with Teaching with Teams or check out some other options.  Click the link above or contact this office for assistance.

 

Just a bit of housecleaning!

Whew now that Fall 2020 semester is over and most of 2020 do take a bit of time before you close 2020 books.  Download grades to your piratedrive or onedrive.  Make note of what worked and what failed.  If you had guest lecture recordings make sure their names are in the title for future searches.

This office will be open for trainings, consultations on technologies that have been used and those you may want to try.  Check out this blog, the Canvas blog, Academic Technologies for ideas!
