Here are some various educational handouts and blog posts elsewhere I’ve created over the past year, in case you find any of them useful:
Handouts / Google Docs:
- Resources for Teaching Elementary School Kids Coding and Robotics – as part of an afterschool club
- Tips & Tools for Family-Safe Device Usage – how to monitor your young kids’ use of devices for safety purposes
- Free Tools for Enhancing Your Course – created for Gaetz Aerospace Institute instructors
- Resources for UNIV 101 (College Success) Instructors – study skills, time management, etc.
- Resources on Using Questions During Class – or teaching students how to ask questions, also for Gaetz
- Student Success and Retention Strategies – ways to reduce attrition and increase higher ed graduation rates
- Teaching Underprepared Students – the above handout though is more recent and more useful, I believe
