continued adventures in ungrading

The past academic year has been a challenge for all of us!

COVID-19 has had a devastating effect on our world and on our learning communities, which is not something ANY of us would have wanted. But as it has forced us to rethink the ways that we teach and learn, I’ve been getting more questions from colleagues and friends about my ungrading process. So I thought I would share this video of a talk I gave on my home campus, Hood College, last fall (back when we could all safely get together for an in-person conversation, which now seems like another lifetime, doesn’t it?).

And yes, I am still happily ungrading!

Adventures in Ungrading

Why do we grade? Why shouldn’t we rethink this whole system and make it better for students AND teachers?

iPad outreach!

I was honored to have the opportunity last week to speak to faculty at Jacksonville University about how the iPad has transformed learning in my classroom. Thanks to the faculty at JU for your kind welcome and to Apple for arranging my visit!

I believe that the iPad can help to make college students more accountable for and engaged in their education – and that it can help educators create a more equitable environment where all students are able to learn together.

If you’d like to know more, you can check out the video of the talk and the great discussion session that followed.

why i teach with the iPad

Lots of people have asked me why I think the iPad is such a great tool for the college classroom. Here’s my answer! More detailed posts on this subject are coming up soon – as are some much-needed updates on my recommended apps and technology-based assignments! My iPad and I have been busy, and there’s plenty to report. Stay tuned!

final NEH recap

The end of my England trip was jam-packed with activities … which kept me too busy to share my final NEH recap video here on the site. Now that I’m home, I’m rectifying that situation!

 

I’ve also made a Google map that marks all of the places that I visited on the trip. Click the image to go to the map, where you can zoom in and see all the details:
