Culturally Responsive Teaching<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reading this article<\/a> it’s great to find out that by working toward providing learning experiences in a UDL-y way (Universal Design for Learning) it will also likely make you a more culturally responsive teacher. That’s like a Buy-One-Get-One Free deal! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply providing choice for students in terms of the input of information, or their own output, is a step toward a culturally responsive classroom, as is inherent in the guiding principles of UDL. <\/p> Gwen Bass, PhD, and Michael Lawrence-Riddell<\/a> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Learning Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the technology without it using us<\/em>.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tech Bank<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s still a work in progress, but like the seemingly as-yet unfinished Death Star<\/a> in Return of the Jedi, this thing is operational. The Fleming Digital Learning Technologies Inventory, aka the Tech Bank<\/a>, is a space to get a quick and dirty run-down of which learning technologies are available to us (faculty and students), and to get a sense of how and why one might want to use it. Have a look at the Faculty category<\/a> to see what’s there, and let us know what’s missing<\/a> and\/or how to make it as useful as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Trickle Down<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stuff to tell your students!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Own Terms and Conditions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 5-6 pm on January 28th in room 253A (at Frost Campus), there is a free workshop for students to help work toward living your life on your own terms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The STOP PUSHING MY BUTTONS!<\/strong> Workshop will help participants move away from reaction, defensiveness and blame towards understanding the power behind thoughts and feelings. Learn how to identify\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0deactivate your buttons with strategic tools and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may take more than one hour to achieve this, so we’re thinking there may be some post-workshop stuff to do. Students can register\u00a0at Health Services Rm 254 (at Frost).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Inner Workings <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping you navigate the inner workings of the college<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Policies & Procedures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some instances, for some people, once in an occasional blue, waning moon, it can be a trifle dry to read up on policies and procedures. But some say they are an important part of running a tight ship, so we have a few here at Fleming. When you’re ready you can find them here<\/a>. Let us know which is your favourite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Keeping it Professional<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Learning Opportunities<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Lunch n’ Learns from Ed-Tech Ontario<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ETC is a committee of ed-tech enthusiasts from all of Ontario’s colleges. One of the things that they do is run a series of webinars throughout the semester. And the new calendar is out! First up, on February 5th is a webinar entitled Listen Up: Podcasts as the new \u201cTextbook\u201d hosted by Audrey Wubbenhorst of Humber College. See the whole list here<\/a>. Sounds intriguing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
