#iteachmsu FAQ
What is a “commons”?
Teaching Commons: “an emergent conceptual space for exchange and community among faculty, students, and all others committed to learning as an essential activity of life in contemporary democratic society” (Huber and Hutchings, 2005, p.1). #iteachmsu Commons content may be discipline-specific or transdisciplinary, but will always be anchored in teaching competency areas.
What will I find there?
You will find posts, articles, curated playlists, and a campus-wide teaching and learning events calendar. Posts are brief less formal pieces of content. Articles can be slightly more formal in nature and are usually longer with greater detail. Playlists are collections of articles that are curated by individuals or institutional units. The events calendar aims to be the “one-stop-shop” for all educator related goings-on.
Am I an educator?
The short answer… do you contribute to the teaching and learning mission of the university? If so, then YES you are an educator. The founding partners of the #iteachmsu Commons, Academic Advancement Network, The Graduate School, and The Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology, believe that a wide educator community (faculty, Teaching Assistants, Undergraduate Learning Assistants, instructional designers, academic advisors, librarians, coaches, et al.) helps learning happen at MSU. #iteachmsu is hashtag, a statement, a public declaration of pride in one’s teaching practice and educator identity, and hopefully a movement. You are #iteachmsu!
Why should I join?
On such a large campus, it can be difficult to fully recognize and leverage the MSU community’s teaching and learning contributions, especially when so much of our institution is decentralized - leaving colleges, departments, and units to manage their own educator development. The #iteachmsu Commons provides an educator-driven space for sharing teaching resources, connecting across educator networks, and growing teaching practice.
How do I join?
Visit iteach.msu.edu and click the “Log in” button in the upper right-hand corner. Use your MSU netID to log on with Single Sign-On. Now you have full access to contribute to the Commons! Build your bio. Share updates, questions, and celebrations via posts. Add to articles with your practical insights or scholarly work. Connect with others! (Note: anyone can visit the Commons and consume content, but only members of the MSU community with a netID can log in and contribute content at this time.)

Check out my highlights on what I learned from Gary Roloff from Fisheries & Wildlife:
𝟏 critical thinking, synthesis of ideas & information, acquisition of contextual knowledge, and informed judgment results in empowered, confident decision making in students
✌🏽 teaching philosophies change over time. focusing on contextual knowledge teaches “clear answers” which is not the same as making informed arguments and decisions using that knowledge
💡connecting students to local and agency partners is a highlight for students & builds professional networks
🌪challenges: "if we fail to recognize and adjust our content and delivery to appeal to diverse learning styles we are not being fair"
🔥hot take: changing from testing structures📝 to oral exams🎤 provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate knowledge and explain answers. More time consuming, but the payoff is worth it
