What is #iteachmsu Commons?

A proud, public, and educator-driven statement of teaching practice, #iteachmsu first began on social media as a way for graduate teaching assistants across MSU to share teaching resources, connect with each other, and grow in their teaching practice. Since then, educators (faculty, graduate teaching assistants, advisors, instructional designers, et al.) across roles at MSU have continued to build on the beginnings of #iteachmsu, using it to further share, connect, and grow in their work at the #iteachmsu Commons. Read about Professional Development — For Educators, By Educators.

The #iteachmsu Commons is a space built for educators by educators with the support of the Academic Advancement Network, The Graduate School, and The Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology. A wide educator community, all those who contribute to the teaching and learning mission of our university, (faculty, TAs, ULAs, instructional designers, academic advisors, et al.) exists across MSU, but can be difficult to fully recognize and leverage because of MSU’s size and decentralized nature. To address this challenge, the #iteachmsu Commons provides an educator-driven space for sharing teaching resources, connecting across educator networks, and growing teaching practice.

Outcome

Why use #iteachmsu Commons?

We have also been working to centralize our teaching resources in a space that was created last year for educators to share ideas and build communities. The #iteachmsu Commons is a space where you can share ideas and questions, connect with other educators across MSU, and grow your teaching practice. Short posts, blog-like articles, curated playlists, and a campus-wide teaching and learning events calendar are all available to you there. Visit iteach.msu.edu for ongoing support. Join the #iteachmsu community by visiting iteach.msu.edu and using your MSU NetID to log in.

As a reminder, iteach.msu.edu provides an educator-driven space for sharing teaching resources, connecting across educator networks, and growing teaching practice. Continue to visit the iteach.msu.edu website as it is being updated daily with teaching resources and collaboration opportunities such as the workshops mentioned above.

Get Started

Thank an Educator

Gratitude is so important. Join us in the simple act of saying thank you. The #iteachmsu team believes that a wide educator community (faculty, TAs, ULAs, instructional designers, academic advisors, et al.) facilitate learning across MSU. But, on such a large campus, it can be difficult to fully recognize and leverage this community’s teaching and learning contributions. In this form, we invite you to give a shout-out to the educators in your MSU life, and we’ll pass your gratitude along by sending a thank you from #iteachmsu!
