Faculty Discussion on Teaching Naked

An Edmodo Group has been created for faculty to join to participate in discussions and sharing regarding the book Teaching naked by Jose Antonio Bowen.

With our busy schedules scheduling a time when groups can meet synchronously is difficult. So we are trying something new by setting up a group that will allow us to participate in discussion and sharing anytime, anywhere and at our own pace.

You can create a free teacher account at http://edmodo.com and join our group using the Group Code: 934enw

Or go to http://edmo.do/j/hwqdna

If you would like to learn more about Teaching Naked before delving into the book or faculty discussion, you can watch a TED talk given by the author at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpdUyw_vJcU

Since this is a new endeavor for the faculty development committee, we will be exploring what it is the faculty most want. How can this tool be combined with faculty who still wish to meet face to face? Who wants to meet for coffee in the POD for informal discussion and sharing?

We are still learning! We are exploring different tools and resoruces to find innovative ways to engage, share, and challenge. This is the first time we have ever used this tool and we still have a lot to learn on designing an online (yet printable) newsletter.

Please let us know what you think.

What kinds of article would you like us to include?

Do you have a better suggestion for a tool for creating this update?
