Engaging Teaching

Teaching tips & more!

A Lovely Swarm of Pedagogy Goodness

Let’s just ease into the new term with a simple way to share warm teaching thoughts. In just four words, many educators have been able to share wonderful teaching philosophies to the Twitter hashtag #4wordpedagogy. Have a scroll through some of the submissions and, if you’re feeling generous, pop yours into the comments at the bottom of the page.

Learning Technology

Using the technology without it using us.

Join the Team

We would like the Teaching Hub to be more of an actual hub by making it easier to include everyone in the ongoing conversation about teaching and learning at Fleming, so we created a space (in Microsoft Teams) for us all to have an ongoing discussion. Click this link to join the Digital Learning at Fleming Teams Channel and see the beginnings of the conversation. You can go there to find advice, support, help, and maybe even a partner in crime or two for your next project!

Trickle Down

Stuff to tell your students!

Getting Involved in Getting Involved

Q. How many opportunities do your students have to get involved in Student Life at Fleming?

A: A lot. Get involved in your students’ getting involved by nudging your students towards the Student Life tab in the portal.

Inner Workings

Helping you navigate the inner workings of the college

Support

Picture this scenario: You’re sitting in your office trying to come up with an icebreaker activity for your upcoming first class and are just plain stumped because you’ve already put so much mental effort into the rest of your lesson plan. Well, let us remind you that the ‘S’ in the LDS Team name stands for SUPPORT, and we have phones and computers that we are sitting by waiting for you to call (ext. 1216) or email (ldsteam@flemingcollege.ca). Or, you can join the aforementioned Microsoft Team and then we’ll respond saying you should try the “most boring thing about me” icebreaker because it is low stakes and hilarious.

Keeping it Professional

Professional Learning Opportunities

Nope

Professional Learning opportunities the same week you are launching all your new winter term courses? No, thank you! We’ll hit you up with some light learning opportunities next week. Have a great semester start!
