TA Teaching Tips
TA Handbook Part III: Web-Only
Using Technology To Enhance Teaching
"Technology-Enhanced Teaching Tips" is a Web supplement to the Teaching Assistant Handbook, designed to both evoke and answer questions related to teaching with technology. Like the on-line "TA Teaching Tips," this site is a collection of insights and resources that will help you conceptualize, plan, and manage the various technologies that are becoming increasingly useful in the classroom. Washington University offers a wide variety of technologies that can enhance your course, as well as the support needed to use these tools. Use the following questions and issues both as a directory for available resources as well as a checklist for your own pedagogical planning:
- How can technology help me achieve the pedagogical goals of the course I am teaching?
- What additional pedagogical and technical factors are important in managing a technology-enhanced course?
- What on-line resources are available to help me address my course goals and my students' learning needs?
- How do I document my commitment to these new pedagogical innovations?
- What are some possible lessons and exercises that might help me achieve my pedagogical goals?
