Here at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana we have a wonder Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) who help faculty become better teachers. I have used their resources many times throughout the years.
This morning I got a wonderful email with this article: Teaching while Masked. This leads to good information and excellent practices on teaching while wearing a mask. Love the advice! Granted an old theater major like myself can project my voice even through a mask. Still, I loved knowing that my techniques worked and that new one could be used. Enjoy the read.

Last year I worked with an online expert to get my beloved class K200 Microcomputer Applications in Kinesiology fully online. Yes it has a website but we at Indiana University also use Canvas for managing our courses. Now I like for my students to see everything about my class up front. That way they can plan and work ahead. The designer I worked with said NO! That it might confuse the students, especially if I changed things, and to not open the Canvas sections until the absolute start date.
Today I got an email saying hey, open the class up early. I can see how in the past if the Canvas site wasn't ready, then of course you don't open it up. However, within a day or two, my Canvas sites will be ready to ROCK! So I will open them up ASAP. I will also encourage my students to check them out before the class starts to we can start fresh. Here's to the New COVID Normal Number Four (or is it 137 - can't remember). I'm looking forward to having everything ready for my students and myself. |
