TA Workshop | Applying that App: Incorporating Technology in and out of the Classroom, Oct. 15

The TA Professional Development Workshop Series can help graduate students enhance their teaching and leadership skills.

“Are you interested in being a more effective instructor or lab leader? Are you getting ready to apply for Ph.D. programs? Are you ready for the job market?” asks Dr. Muriel Gallego, a member of the TA Professional Development Faculty Learning Community, which hosts the workshops. For more information, contact Gallego at gallego@ohio.edu.

A certificate of attendance will be provided to Teaching Assistants or graduate students who attend three or more workshops.

Upcoming Workshops

Applying that App: Incorporating Technology in and out of the Classroom

When: Monday, Oct. 15, from noon to 2 p.m.

Where: Gordy 113

Do you want to show that particular video in class but it’s too long? By using ThingLink and EDpuzzle, you can easily make it more interactive by adding tags, audio comments, images or links to other videos. Do you want to survey the students or check immediate comprehension through multiple choice, true or false, or fill-in-the-blank activities? Quizlet or Kahoot will allow you to do this. The use of technology can improve students’ experience in and out of the classroom and turn a traditional lesson into a motivating and interactive experience for the class. In this workshop, you will learn to use some applications, which are meant for teaching and evaluating contents, as well as for promoting classroom cooperation.

Creating a Winning Impression as a Teacher

When: Monday, Oct. 22, from noon to 2 p.m.

Where: Gordy 113

When applying for a teaching position, you may be asked to provide evidence of your teaching skills through a demonstration either in that department or in a class you are already teaching. This workshop will help you to showcase your talents by videotaping you in an impromptu performance that you and your peers will critique. You will receive expert advice from teacher trainers on what you can do to increase your clarity and make a positive impact for future demonstrations. Tips for teaching clarity, overcoming nervousness, and displaying confidence also will be discussed. This workshop is capped at 20, so be sure to sign up early!
