Beginning in the Spring 2020 semester, the School of Nursing can no longer provide clickers/laser pointers to faculty the way that we have in the past.
Why?
It’s Spring 2020!!!
Ready or not, the Spring semester is upon us.
That means it’s time to put the finishing touches on your syllabus, get your Canvas course up and running, make sure all your slideshows are finished, and so much more.
In addition to the thousands of things on your to-do list, here are a few resources that will help you start the semester strong.
Using Zoom in the School of Nursing Classrooms
Would you like to use Zoom for your next meeting but don’t know how? Do you want your guest speaker to be able to see and hear your students during Q&A?
These questions and more are addressed in the video below.You’ll also learn two key pieces of information if you want to use Zoom in any of the classrooms here in the School of Nursing.
It’s Fall 2019!
Ready or not, the Fall semester is upon us.
That means it’s time to put the finishing touches on your syllabus, get your Canvas course up and running, make sure all your slideshows are finished, and so much more.
In addition to the 10,000 other things on your to-do list, here are a few resources that will help you start the semester strong.
Faculty Development Workshops Fall 2019
Do you ever wish you have more opportunities to learn about new teaching methods or classroom technologies and how to put them to use?

Do you have VHS or DVD videos that you wish you could upload into Canvas for future use?
The New Canvas Gradebook
The New Canvas Gradebook went live May 28, 2019. And, while most features and functions are the same, there are also some new features.
New Features
The new Canvas Gradebook includes many features designed to improve the grading experience, especially in classes with large numbers of students and/or assignments.
To learn more about the new features, and learn how to use them, click here.
You can also learn more here.
And, if you’d like to learn about all the different things you can do in the new gradebook, click here.
If you’d like to discuss what you’ve read here or anything at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Should you use the microphone? Yes!
“If our colleagues and students can’t hear in meetings or in classrooms, they can’t participate. Those of us with low hearing, a hearing impairment, or a hearing-assistive device need you to speak into the microphone so we can fully understand your words. In a crowded or large space, amplification makes it possible for everyone to engage and learn.
Simply talking loudly isn’t enough. It’s not about the fact that you took a high-school theater class and learned to project from the stage. Or that you can use your “teacher voice” to be heard in the back of the room. It’s not about your belief that you are a good speaker.”
It’s 2019! Start the year (and semester) strong!

You may have already heard, but in case you haven’t, the School of Nursing now has not 1 but 3 GoPro cameras that are available to help you create videos for your students or as part of your class.
