Teaching with Tech Certificate

The Teaching With Technology Certificate Program

A series of workshops sponsored by the Center for Excellence In Teaching.

Demonstrate greater skills and awareness of teaching with technology.
Identify appropriate technologies for use the learning space.
Responsibly integrate technology into teaching.
Assess self-growth with regard to teaching with technology.

Program Overview

Workshops are offered on a rotating basis. In order to receive a certificate of completion, faculty must successfully complete all workshops and a Reflective Teaching Portfolio (TWT).

Assessment

Workshops will include surveys and assessments, and faculty are required to maintain a Reflective Teaching Portfolio (TWT) that can be made available for collegial review at the time of completion. Additional information on Teaching Portfolios can be found on the CET website under LINKS and in the archives of the Adjunct Institute at CET Homepage.

The Reflective Teaching Portfolio is an intrinsic part of the program. An ongoing, reflective journal of a faculty member's evolution as a teacher, it is a valuable and widely recognized professional development tool. The reflective teaching portfolio includes a statement of teaching philosophy, responsibilities, and goals, as well as key evidence showing how these goals are being reached. For this certificate program, the portfolio should focus on the 1.) role of technology in one's teaching practice, 2.) reflection on the impact of technology on teaching and learning, and 3.) ideas you may have to infuse technology in your teaching.

Creating, Managing, and Sharing Materials

The more you use and share digital content in your courses, the more the content needs to be prepared, formatted, named, and managed. This session establishes best practices in how to create, manage and share content in your classes and with your students that will enhance assignments and make orderly collaboration possible.

Each program is updated to include current and emerging technologies that are having a significant impact on education. Recent topics that have been explored include: The Digital Syllabus, ADA and special needs technologies, augmented reality,creation and deployemnt of interactive media and research aids (LIB Guides) produced by the Gladys Marcus Library and fully integrated into Blackboard
and more.

Tools like VoiceThread and Padlet are among the many collaborative and interactive tools that bring students together to develop projects, assignments, and presentations. This portion of the program is conducted online where participants will work in small groups to explore the learning opportunities fostered by active learning.

Each workshop will include surveys and assessments, and faculty will be required to develop and maintain a Reflective Teaching Portfolio that can be made available for collegial review at the time of completion. A list of certificate recipients and their Reflective Teaching Portfolios can be found on this page.
