Graduate teaching assistants and academic departments are invited to participate in the Teaching with Technology certificate program, detailed at http://tlt.its.psu.edu/support/twt/. Through the free program, graduate students apply existing technology skills, acquire new skills, and develop a philosophy about teaching with technology. They assemble a portfolio showcasing their knowledge, skills, and achievements using technology for teaching, under the guidance of a departmental representative. Upon approval of the portfolio, students receive a certificate from The Graduate School, enhancing their marketability when seeking teaching positions. Some departments in which graduate students have expressed interest in the program currently have no faculty member appointed to review student portfolios. Such departments are encouraged to appoint a representative. Graduate teaching assistants or faculty members interested in participating may contact twtc@psu.edu.
The Teaching with Technology certificate program is jointly sponsored by The Graduate School and Education Technology Services.
