Competency #3: Incorporating Technology in Your Teaching

Description of Core Competency

The third core competency is focused on incorporating technology into the classroom for the purpose of enhancing and expanding student learning. Utilizing technology in the classroom can come in a variety of forms, including the use of presentation tools, online quizzes and activities, and classroom resources like Desire to Learn (D2L). In the context of hybrid and synchronous models of teaching, using technology means working within the constrains of Zoom and other video conference services to break down divides and effectively connect course material to students. As teaching shifts towards this model, instructors have a responsibility to utilize technology in the classroom for the key goal of making learning accessible for all students.
