Educators continually improve their practice by learning from and with others and exploring proven and promising practices that leverage technology to improve student learning.
The video below is a tutorial on how to Create Assignments in the CNOW app through MINDTAP. This a great example of how I strive to explore new ways to use technology to enhance my pedagogical approach.
The video shown below is one of the many NISOD webinar videos that they produce regularly and is titled "Differentiated Instruction Leads to Increased Student Engagement" and was presented by Dr. Lamar T. Collins and discusses methods to improve student engagement including the use of technology. This is an example of my active participation in a global learning network in pursuit of my professional interests.
