Explore using personality quizzes as a teaching tool! We will share and take some teaching, learning, and personality surveys together and discuss how these can be both self-reflective and community-building activities in the classroom. Discover whether you're a rabbit, hawk, turtle, or tiger, and how you and your students can best utilize your animal strengths to achieve academic success.

Many SF State students are attempting to achieve their college goals while raising children or struggling with basic needs instability. These students face particular challenges, but the good news is there are resources and strategies to help them succeed. In this workshop, Karen Boyce, Director of Health Promotion and Wellness, and Ryan Farquhar, Health Communications Specialist, will educate faculty on the needs of their special population students, share resources that can help them, and provide strategies that can be used in the classroom to help them succeed. 

“While we teach, we learn” – Seneca (Roman philosopher). The best way to understand a concept is to explain it to others. To promote active learning in classrooms and research labs, students can take on the role of a teacher, sharing their knowledge with friends, family, and the community.

Please join CEETL for a workshop led by Chemistry and Biochemistry Professor Jingjing Qiu who will share about how she uses social media and podcasts to enact co-teaching, and she will share and facilitate a discussion for co-teaching with students in the sciences. 

Faculty participants at this workshop will:

• Learn and share strategies/teaching approaches for encouraging students sharing their knowledge in different formats outside classrooms.
• Discuss ways to integrate social media for students to share their knowledge.
• Share and discuss outreach activities/ideas outside classroom teaching such as those related to RSCA.
• Build community with other faculty who are interested in promoting students’ learning with social media.

We will be meeting in Library's Maker Space (LIB 260) which has a podcast room and podcast equipment for faculty to borrow.

In this CEETL, AT, and Library collaboration, learn the basics of using open educational resources (OER) to save students money and support teaching and learning. OER can encompass a variety of materials,  including syllabi, lesson plans, learning modules, lab experiments, simulations, course videos, discussion prompts, assignments, assessments, library guides, and course design templates.
