There is an interesting piece this morning on Faculty Focus about how we might combat Imposter Syndrome in academia. Both among faculty AND among students from historically marginalized groups. Here is the link for those who might like to take a look:

In my continuing effort to engage and empower students in my courses, I've put together a another podcast episode and related blog post on how to cultivate more active listening skills as part of their digital collaborative learning. Here are links to both for interested parties:

Here's a new video from the the guys at New Ed Tech Classroom with information on five highly useful apps, one of which is ChatGPT, and possible ways to use them in our teaching. Granted, they are thinking along K-12 lines, but there is much that is applicable to working with our college students in various modalities. Here's the link:

Thinking back to the answers you gave before the videos, what are some other metaphors that are more appropriate? How might you find metaphors, comparisons, and stories that multilingual/multicultural student audiences could relate to?

I wanted to share one of the best papers I've ever read as a grad student and GTA. Don't let the title fool you, the contents apply to everyone in higher education, not just scientists.

When I'm feeling overwhelmed or the imposter syndrome creeps in, I go back and re-read this article.

Martin A. Schwartz; The importance of stupidity in scientific research. J Cell Sci 1 June 2008; 121 (11): 1771. doi: https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.033340

KRISTEN - I have started on multiple occasions to build my "professional website" and haven't found the motivation to follow through. All the choices and options for content to include can be overwhelming... do you have suggestions on how to get started? On top of it, I'm an educator but not a faculty member (so this wouldn't be something I'd direct students to). Because of this, I'm also struggling with how to balance person and professional. I have one twitter account - I see you have a RSS feed on your website - should I have two separate accounts and only link my "professional" one? Should I think of my audience as current colleagues at MSU and potential future employers? (So BALANCE is one of my question themes)

Hello again everyone! Marohang and I look forward to you joining us for the kick-off meeting of out learning community for AY2023-2024 tomorrow morning, 10 to 11am (East Lansing Time) Friday, September 22, 2023. We'll revisit the primary aims behind our community and see where the conversation takes us although we are very interested in a more conscious effort to bring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) pedagogy into the conversation this year, examine how a digital-collaborative approach to teaching and learning can democratize the creation and sharing of knowledge, and explore how the advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) might have a positive role to play in our work with 21st century students. We hope you can join us!

Marohang and Stokes
