my wife and i st\"\"<\/a>arted birdwatching earlier this year. working from home helped us appreciate the feathered residents of our backyard, and now we keep an eye out for colorful birds when we walk at places like radnor lake. and, as of this morning, we have an empty nest\u2014literally. the family of house finches that nested in our front door wreath have moved on, with the three baby finches flying away for the first time.<\/p>\n

the past year set the stage for many of us not only to learn new hobbies, but also to learn new ways to teach. unlike birdwatching, our new teaching practices weren\u2019t entirely optional; the need to teach in online and hybrid settings required us to learn new technologies and new pedagogies. but i know that many of us will carry what we\u2019ve learned into our future teaching in more conventional settings, just as i will keep birdwatching this fall.<\/p>\n

reflecting on a year of adaptive teaching, determining what elements of that teaching to continue, and figuring out how to incorporate those elements in classroom teaching\u2026 all that will take time and energy. that\u2019s why the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 staff is slowing down this summer, looking back at the past year and taking some much needed time off. if you need us, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out, but we\u2019re not planning any new workshops or conversations until august.<\/p>\n

in august, however, the center will offer a variety of events on the theme of returning to the classroom. making plans for the fall that take advantage of what we\u2019ve learned this past year\u2026 there\u2019s no reason to do that alone! stay tuned for workshops and panels on educational technologies, classroom facilitation strategies, inclusive teaching approaches, and more this august, all designed to help the vanderbilt teaching community foster meaningful student learning.<\/p>\n

one more piece of news: i\u2019m excited to welcome seo lim (jenny) park<\/strong> to the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 team. jenny is our newest instructional technologist, part of the center\u2019s brightspace support team. jenny comes to us from brown university, where she just completed a master of arts in public humanities and served as a digital learning and design graduate fellow. jenny\u2019s position at the center is a new one, recently approved by the provost to expand our brightspace support capacity. welcome, jenny!<\/p>\n
