Teacher Becomes the Student: Enrollment Email



Received this email today about my courses for the summer. One thought that occurs to me is that I might want to share this same information on my course Canvas sites.

You may use Self-Service Banner to add, drop or withdraw a course.  If this option is not available to you, you must contact your advisor.  As with all matters related to your academic success at Temple University, you should discuss enrollment concerns with your advisor.

Policy: 02.10.14- Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period, you may withdraw from a course prior to the withdrawal deadline.  The withdrawal will result in a W grade notation on your transcript, and you will remain financially responsible for the course.  If you do not withdraw but fail to complete the course, you remain responsible for the grade you receive.

Teaching Tools

I've added two new teaching tools to my regime this semester. 1. Skitch . Skitch is both a desktop application that lets you capture images easily, and a website that allows for easy image sharing . I'll use it this semester to capture images that we can discuss in class, and to take pictures of the blackboard at the end of class (to capture interesting brainstorming sessions). I can upload the pic via email, straight from my phone, and the students will have access right away. I can use the image capture software to circle parts of the reading, charts, graphs, etc. and bring those to the surface for discussion. 2. Slideshare . This program allows you to upload PowerPoint presentations to the Web. I uploaded all of my slides for the semester to one page where they can be accessed from any computer. It allows me to worry less about carrying the slides on a USB drive or having to upload them to the course Blackboard page, which sometimes doesn't open. It also makes fo...

Clutter

I hate clutter. Let's get rid of it. Pick a spot in your house or office or even computer that you want to de-clutter. Let's say we're de-cluttering a drawer in a home-office. Take out everything and put it all in one pile. Pick up each thing one at time and ask yourself why you have this thing. If you're going to keep it, you have to know why you have it . You should be able to name the purpose the object has and know when it will meet that purpose. The purpose of a yellow highlighter is obvious, but if you never highlight things, then it will never meet that purpose. It's clutter. This stapler and its little box of staples work like new. I've had them for years, I never use them. They have to go. Do you want them? Start a new pile of the things that have no clear purpose. If you are rigorous in surveying your stuff, this pile should get big quickly. Everything in this pile is going to go; we just have to figure out where it goes. Now, you're ...
