Teaching Toolkit Tailgate  (TTT) is a “resource fair” aimed at connecting educators across campus with practice-oriented tools, activities, and resources. In the past, TTT has been an in-person event with rooms dedicated to particular themes and individuals stationed at tables with printed “cards”. Given public health guidance related to Covid-19 and group gatherings, we’re shifting to some online opportunities instead!

Ask Me Anything (AMA):

MSU is a big place where a lot of individuals have unique experiences and perspectives. This year the #iteachmsu Teaching Toolkit Tailgate is aiming to connect you with those people! Throughout the end of August and September, you can visit the #iteachmsu Commons to ask questions of volunteer “Ask Me Anything” hosts. Throughout their AMA day, each host will be responding to questions posted to the Teaching Toolkit Tailgate group! Hosts are still signing up, so be sure to check back in for continued updates.
