Tech Basics
Teaching today means your computer is part of your classroom, whether you want it to be or not. But when technology gets in the way, it pulls your focus from what matters most: your students.
That’s why we created the “Tech Basics” video series, designed to help you master tech basics so you can stop fighting with technology and start using it as a tool for teaching and learning.
Our next workshop
Easy Apps for Your Course
April 14th, 2026 at 12:15pm ET
Note: This workshop is in-person.
What if your Brightspace site included a custom-built simulation or an interactive quiz tailored specifically to your syllabus?
We’ll show you how to use Gemini AI as your personal developer. Learn the process of generating code for dynamic course content, without needing to write a single line of code yourself. Together, we will explore the best practices for leveraging LLMs and begin building a tool you can use in your own teaching.

The struggle to stay on task
Are your students scrolling through social media instead of listening to your lecture?
With the click of a button, students can easily mentally check out from class and engage in off-task online activity.
The good news is that you have the power to influence students’ attention and redirect their focus: by communicating to students what is and is not allowed in your class regarding technology.
