Group Admins
A digital space for collaboration and exploration of digital tools used for teaching and learning: discuss theoretical elements of digital pedagogy; as well as provide resources for PFF participants who are unfamiliar with certain digital tools. Students will share how they use technology in the classroom; discuss how to assess its effectiveness, and enhance their knowledge of learning strategies and resources. To complement their work on this Core Competency, PFF participants will be given the option to attend cross-disciplinary, professional peer groups facilitated by GSAS. Attendance at these peer groups will not fulfill Core Competency 4 but rather will bring Future Faculty together as a learning community to discuss their experiences in fulfilling it.
