Your teaching can grow with thoughtful feedback from students. Some of the "anonymous" notes I was given mid-lecture from my 11 year old and her friends who sat in on my lecture on Attention today.
Review week for #MacIntroPsych and I advise students to trust the study process you have invested in and block out last minute chatter of everyone gathering at the MidTerm. Listen to an inspiring playlist instead. I like the (original) Superman theme. What song do you suggest?
@Avis_Favaro@McMasterU Nothing can replace the excitement of a live classroom. But...during the pandemic I made several conscientious decisions to "liven" up my online lectures. I had 2 online TAs that subbed as volunteers for demos, I asked provocative Qs and highlighted replies, had AMA sessions.

Personal update: Had my last #MacIntroPsych lecture of the term last night and I'm treating myself this morning to a homemade Shakshuka pizza with bacon. That is all.
@theSilhouette A "HiFlex" model of teaching that offers in- person and online options will require overcoming pedagogical challenges, but I'm convinced that creative planning and supporting resources can make this the standard model as we move forward to a new norm in university education.
As a #MCU noob, I jumped into #WandaVision and got mesmerized by the creativity. At e4, I accidently turned on voice-over description during the credits and assumed it was an interesting narrating choice that would soon be explained. By e6 I realized what I did🤔
I'm very excited to collaborate with our program members in the @McMasterMcCMacB to offer an exciting new course this spring semester: INSPIRE 3EL3 (CO1)Perspectives in Science: Behind the Scenes

Working from home during a pandemic while parenting can be challenging, but it does provide new opportunities for collaboration. I think the #MacIntroPsych students are going to like this lesson on the amygdala.
