AMATYC Professional Development

Please watch the video below for a walk through of the steps.

Posting a video of a technology recommendation will require two steps:
1.  Contact Behnaz Rouhani for requirements and instructions for the video.  The video will actually be uploaded onto the amatyc.org Professional Development Teaching Tips page.

2. Once the video is posted on the Professional Development Teaching Tips page, do the following:

1. First post a discussion question related to the technology you are recommending (and grab the URL of your discussion post) . Examples may be:
   • What recommendations do you have for incorporating ____________ in your classroom?
   • Have you found any sources of other activities that use ______________?
   • Or something more applicable to the technology you are highlighting.
2. Post your library entry.  For consistency in the Community, when creating a tech recommendation post, please include the following information in the Description:

• • Introduction/Explanation of the tool - Begin with a brief introduction of the tool: name, pedagogical purpose, etc.
  • Requirements - Does it take anything special to set up? If applicable, does it integrate into a gradebook?  
  • The benefits of using the tool - Explain why you like to use the tool.  You may also address questions like: How has the use of this tool enhanced student engagement and success from your perspective? What comments have you heard from your students about this tool?
  •  The limitations of using the tool - What have you found the limitations of this tool to be?  What limitations have your students mentioned for the use of this tool?
  • Put the phrase "Click here to view my video on the Teaching Tips page" and make that a hyperlink to your video on amatyc.org 

          Choose 'Hyperlink' as the entry type, and then insert the link to your discussion.
