FLEX # 147

Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America--but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it.

FLEX # 455
9-10:20am.  Ever wonder if you are getting through to your students in the moment? Classroom Response Systems (CRS) allow you to pose questions to your students on the fly so that they can answer with their mobile devices using wifi or text. Responses can be shown immediately and used to inform in the moment pedagogical decisions. Come join Michelle Kelley and Mike Matiasek from the Academic Technology Committee who will introduce to you the basics of CRS’s and how to use Poll tool in the Zoom platform and the Poll Everywhere CRS platform that has a free option. We will finish with a hands on session so you leave the session knowing how to create polls in Poll Everywhere. We will also mention a related assessment tool, PlayPosit.
