Technology Resources

Digital tools are everywhere. New ones appear every day, while other ones go away just as quickly, and it’s hard for students and instructors to stay on top of them all! Our team would love to assist in your journey with all things digital. Our goal is to help instructors leverage educational technology to create inclusive, active, and learner-centered science education environments. We also provide resources to explain and explore tools to build and support digital literacy. We help you think about the whys and hows of integrating technology into course instruction to create student-centered learning experiences that promote active learning, critical thinking, and scientific inquiry skills.

We have our feet in design and digital spaces, so we seek to help instructors provide multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement to help create inclusive learning environments that accommodate diverse learners, supporting their success in science education while igniting curiosity and passion for scientific exploration.

Explore our resources to discover how we can help you enhance your instruction and foster equitable and engaging learning experiences for all students using digital media and tools.

NEW: Quick Read Book Club

This semester’s book club selection, Small Teaching by James Lang, introduces practical, evidence-based tips rooted in the latest findings from the learning sciences. Lang’s guidance encourages impactful classroom changes—such as targeted feedback, meaningful reflection, and brief in-class activities—that instructors can adopt immediately.

The Quick Read Book Club will meet only three times this semester, making participation accessible for busy faculty and staff. 

Please mark your calendars for the following meeting dates:
