Now for the tips:

Teaching:

In order to connect with students and practice creating asynchronous materials, consider making a Welcome Students video that can be sent to your students the week before classes begin. This quick intro video by Dr. Mike Wesch can get you started. For a deeper dive on how to create a video, here is another demo by Dr. Wesch.

Tech:

Okay, Dr. Wesch has inspired you to shoot a short Welcome Students video. Now how do you get the video to your students? This demo by Kelli Van Wasshenova from ETS will show you how to use your Denison Google account to securely upload your videos to YouTube – a convenient way to share videos with your students.

Tidbit:

What are other things you can do now to prepare for an uncertain fall? Consider this resource from Dr. Nancy Click of the Teaching Center at Rollins College. Just like much of our work, this resource is under construction but lays out clear things you can work on now.
