Teaching with
Digital Tools
Technology is essential to teaching and learning: it eases communication and collaboration across time and space; it provides students with new ways to participate in discussion and knowledge creation; and, when technology is applied to real-world contexts and problems, it makes learning more immediate and relevant.
The TLC specializes in integrating digital technologies into teaching and learning experiences. When we understand your learning goals for your students, we can help you find the right technology for your capacity; design meaningful technology-enhanced activities for your students; train you and your teaching team; design instructions for your students; and provide just-in-time technical support.
We’ve highlighted the tools we use most often below, and we encourage you to learn more about them or to reach out to us for a consultation on how we can help you align the use of technology with your pedagogical goals.
