Teaching Techniques (Sign-up | Descriptions | Download PDF)
The “Teaching Techniques” category of workshops concentrate on instructional strategies, reflective teaching practices and the learner. There are three sequences of workshops this year:
- Teaching Online
- Collaborative/Team-based Learning
- Active Learning Techniques
Each sequence consists of an introductory workshop, two workshops on implementing the technique in your classes, and a workshop on evaluating the technique. You can sign up for individual workshops or for an entire sequence. People who register for workshops ahead of time are guaranteed to receive a certificate of attendance. Attend an entire series for a special certificate.

What is Web 2.0 and how has it changed the teaching landscape? Workshops throughout the semester will give members of the SSC community a chance to explore new Web 2.0 technologies that allow us to publish, share, connect, collaborate and have fun while creatively exploring our disciplines, teaching and learning. We will explore Blogs, Wikis, Mash-ups, social networking, Second Life, Jott, Dodgeball, etc.
We will also offer some more traditional workshops on tools to make your teaching fun, interactive and possibly just a bit easier.
Look for announcements in your e-mail and department bulletin boards.
