Registration is now open for the Basic Needs Educator Training, which will be held in-person on Tuesday, April 2nd from 9:30AM-11:30AM. This training aims to equip MSU advisors and instructors with knowledge and skills to identify and support students who are having difficulty in meeting one or more basic needs. The training will cover how to navigate these sensitive situations with compassion, respect boundaries, and connect students with campus and community resources.

Participants will also have an opportunity to put together finals week thriving kits to take back to their spaces and share with students. A wishlist has been created if you are interested in donating items for the finals week thriving kits. All items not used for the thriving kits will be donated to divisions on campus that stock free self-care items and toiletries for students, including the Student Parent Resource Center. Items are linked to Amazon but do not have to be purchased from this site.

Upon successful completion of the Basic Needs Educator Training, attendees will receive a digital certificate of completion.

Recommended Prerequisite: Attend or watch all recordings from the four Basic Needs Series presentations. All session recordings can be found on iteachmsu: https://iteach.msu.edu/pathways/437/playlist

Hello and welcome all!

The 2024 Educator Developers Network (EDN) is shaking and baking, moving and quaking!

This is a collaborative space for anyone passionate about improving teaching through effective design, pedagogy, and technology, and anyone who provides training, consultation, instructional/learning experience design, or other learning and development support to instructors on campus. Here, anybody with an interest in enhancing education can come together, share their experiences, and mutually learn from one another. Our synchronous meetings are the 1st Tuesday of every month, were people share their department’s work, ask for advice, or celebrate success. We also communicate asynchronously in our Educator Developers Network channel.

The goals of the network are to provide a dedicated location for people to share ideas and ask questions around instructor support, learning and development, promoting useful practices and ideas to campus at large, foster community through regular meetings that highlight accomplishments and central services, and archiving and externalizing conversations. Our asynchronous discussions occur in Microsoft Teams, where we have an initial structure of channels for members to explore MSU’s Learning Management System (D2L - Brightspace), discuss course design, or seek out technology recommendations and tips. Ultimately, EDN is a place to source answers to your questions or ask for help, participate in the community, and share what you know with others!

Come share your work and ideas! Be part of a learning community with other professional in learning development, training, design, pedagogy, technology, and anyone who provides consultations and instructional/learning experience design. Come join the network!

✍️ Should We Invent New Words to Talk to AI?
Want a fresh way to discuss AI literacy? These authors argue we need new words—not just human vocabulary—to grasp AI. Encourage students to create neologisms for human concepts AI should learn or machine ideas we must understand. What might they invent?
