How to Make Your Blackboard Course Available and other Teaching Tips for the New Semester
by Jean Kelly 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

Greetings and welcome to the Spring 2019 semester at Queens College. The Center for Teaching & Learning has been sharing Tech Tips with the college community for several years. This semester, we’re rebranding the series as Teaching Tips, as we offer advice on teaching with – and without – technology. To help your semester get off to a smooth start, we present a Start-of-the-semester Checklist that includes a shortcut to making your Blackboard course available to students. http://ctl.qc.cuny.edu/start-of-the-semester-checklist/ We also recommend that you think about a back-up plan in the event that inclement weather forces a college closing, or prevents you and your students from traveling safely to campus. http://ctl.qc.cuny.edu/bad-weather-back-up-plan/ You can read our past tips at: http://ctl.qc.cuny.edu/category/tech-tips/ Best regards, The Center for Teaching & Learning

Happy New Year, everyone! Queens Memory is pleased to invite you to our first "Volunteers in the Vaults" gathering of 2019! We will meet this Thursday, January 10, at the Langston Hughes Library & Cultural Center (100-01 Northern Blvd., Corona, NY), from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Attendees will be treated to a specially selected exhibit of materials from the library's extensive Black Heritage Reference Collection, assembled by curator Christine Zarett (an alum of Queens College's Graduate School of Library and Information Studies!). Highlights will include a vinyl recording of Langston Hughes himself; a copy of "Fire," the literary journal he produced; and pamphlets from various Civil Rights initiatives. As always, we will provide light snacks and the opportunity to discuss possible Queens-related oral history projects and network with Queens Memory volunteers and staff. Queens Memory is jointly sponsored by the Queens Library and Queens College. Faculty are welcome to come discuss ideas for class oral history projects.
