We can provide assignment support for you and your students. This can take a variety of forms that may interest you depending upon the level of support you'd like us to provide.
From the highest level of support to our lowest level of support, here are some ways we can support your course's assignments.
1. We can go into your class and give a lecture/seminar on an educational tool or concept. Some examples include "Computational Thinking in the K-6 Science Curriculum," or "Digital Storytelling in K-6 ELA."
2. We can provide a short 5-15 minute demonstration of an educational tool. An example of this would be on how to use "iMovie" for video editing for digital storytelling, or "VoiceThread" for multimodal assignments.
3. We can create supporting documentation for your students on how to use specific tools or tasks, like creating triptychs in MS Word, or creating infographics in Canva.
4. We can make our team aware of any assignments you're handing out to students in case they need to contact TechinEd to receive support. For example, your students may need help filming and editing a short video on using math manipulatives. Our tech coaches can help them book space and even coach them with filming and editing techniques.
Whatever your course support needs, come and talk to us! We'd be happy to discuss the various ways we can help you and your students.
