Are you overwhelmed by the facilitation of student interaction and content development for your online courses? Do you feel disconnected and overwhelmed by the process of creating culturally responsive virtual environments?

The Educational Technology Organization of Michigan (ETOM) is offering a virtual, interactive keynote and faculty workshop on applicable strategies to increase interactions in online spaces. Using the community inquiry theory as the framework, participants will explore the system of strategies that help build inclusive environments for diverse learners.

The workshop, "Community, Course Climate, and Connection" and presented by Courtney Plotts, will take place virtually from noon to 1 p.m. next Thursday (April 21).  

Plotts is a certified/licensed school psychologist who writes and speaks about culturally responsive teaching practices for face-to-face and online spaces. She has written two books on Latino and Black culture and online spaces, and is currently the national chair of the Council For At Risk Student Education and Professional Standards.

Additionally, Plotts has been recognized by the California State Legislature for A Bold Commitment to Change and Education. She offers workshops on topics related to building community, effective culturally responsive teaching and best practices. Plotts' work was highlighted in the book "Small Teaching Online" by Flower Darby.

Register to attend the workshop.

Wayne Lusardi, state maritime archaeologist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), will present the research talk "Aviation Maritime Archaeology in Michigan" at 10 a.m. April 26 in GLRC 202.

The talk will highlight collaborative research opportunities to study underwater and shoreline archaeological and natural systems research.

Over 1,100 aircraft have crashed in the waters of the Great Lakes beginning in the late 19th century. Although many wrecks were recovered immediately following the accidents, many hundreds are still missing in the lakes. Balloons, biplanes, helicopters, fixed wing monoplanes, jet aircraft, even rockets and satellites, represent historically unique aircraft and provide students opportunities to document and study the material culture of our aviation heritage.

In addition to Lusardi's role as state maritime archaeologist, he is an artifact conservator with the DNR. For over 30 years he has participated in the documentation of hundreds of shipwrecks located across the United States and Caribbean. He also investigates historic aircraft wreck sites, both on land and underwater. He has led multiple expeditions to lower Lake Huron, where a Bell P39 Airacobra flown by Tuskegee Airman Lt. Frank H. Moody crashed during World War II.

It might still have a little bit of snow surrounding it, but Sherman Field at Kearly Stadium hosts thousands of fans at dozens of events each year.

You can show your support for the Huskies and leave your mark by purchasing a personalized engraved paver to be placed in a permanent installation in a plaza in front of the concession area.

Display your name, sport and class year. Honor someone special. Or pay tribute to Michigan Tech or an affiliated organization. You decide.
