Overview - Mid-Spring 🌱🪻🐝

As we enter the month of March, Spring Break both beckons and looms, and we await the blooms from the seeds we have planted. We are nearing the end of Part of Term 81, and speaking of POTs, we've just emerged from Momentum Day with new motivation and insight for transitioning to 8-week courses. If you have not yet provided feedback about Momentum Day, please take a moment to do so:

TeLS has your back this month, whether you are course mapping in preparation for a future class or course-correcting by providing engaging homework and content review to your students. If you use PowerPoint, we have a smart way to embed your slide shows in Canvas. We have big news about Micro-Credentials at Yavapai College! We also want to hear your vision of what an Experimental Classroom could look like for you. Please check out this issue and let us know what you think.

Warmly,

The TeLS Team
