⚡️Update Zoom!⚡️ Zoom runs best when you’re using the most up-to-date version: support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/art… If you’ve never used your Media Space account, be sure to log in at least once. This allows automatic copies of your Zoom meetings to be stored there. 6/
Happy fall teaching! Give us a call or drop by for more @Portland_State teaching support at any time.
"I was and am still intimidated by some aspects of #OER, but you can just start slow and start small. And remember that there are so many more benefits beyond even reducing cost." - Professor Lindsey Wilkinson of @pdxsociology on how to get started with #OpenEducation at #OEWeek
"I lean on a lot of storytelling materials, both audio and print text, that are diverse-informed and centering knowledge that has been historically excluded." - @cardenas5254 of @pdxssw is speaking about her #opened practice this morning at #OEWeek at @Portland_State
"Who writes the books? Whose knowledge is privileged? Whose voices are centered? Whose experiences are valued?" - Professor Jenny Ceciliano of @Portland_State's Spanish department presents on her #open textbook at #OEweek pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/p…
Ceciliano's #OER textbook is available in both paper and digital form, making it #accessible for all: "Just holding this book in my hand is rewarding. But people can also access it online." #OEWeek

"The relationship between teacher and student in a #culturallyaffirming classroom is a human one. It requires vulnerability." - Dr. Cristina Herrera #cictpdx #teachingatpsu
“It’s being committed to the scholar-activist tradition. That means one foot in the campus, one foot in the community. That is what Africana studies, Black studies is really about.” - Dr. Courtney Terry, #teachinginnovation conference at @Portland_State #cictpdx #teachingatpsu
“For many of us who are disconnected, stories are a way for us to come home.” - @SimmonsKali, @Portland_State #teachinginnovation conference #cictpdx #teachingatpsu
“I come from workers. I come from healers. And this informs everything I do in my life. I can’t separate where I’m from and the people I come from and how I interact in the classroom.” - Dr. Cristina Herrera, #teachinginnovation conference #cictpdx #teachingatpsu
"Lived experiences are an important and valid way of knowing. For my students, I always tell them: One, they are theorists. Two, theory comes from the ground." - Dr. Molly Benitez on #culturallyaffirming classrooms at the @Portland_State #teachinginnovation conference #cictpdx
