​Privilege is something that can be hard to see especially for those who are privileged. One way it can be concretely demonstrated is through a mobile making activity from Lawrence (1998). I was able to be a participant in this activity at a workshop held by Dr. Viji Sathy (If you’re ever able to attend one of her workshops, I highly recommend!). The activity goes something like this: Each group (4 or 5 people max) gets a bag with supplies and they are tasked with creating a mobile surrounding some theme. The catch is that not all the groups have the same supplies creating different social classes or privilege statuses.

​To recap, yesterday we started a Q&A with Brock about Psy.D. programs. We’re back today to wrap up this question session.

​Don’t know about you, but recently some of my students have expressed an interest in entering into a Psy.D. program after graduation. Of course, I (Jen) think that’s great, but I have little to no information to give them on these types of programs as I earned a Ph.D. Then one day I suddenly remembered that I do know someone who earned a Psy.D.! Enter in Dr. Brock Schludecker. I reached out to him and he graciously offered to answer my student’s questions about Psy.D. programs. I learned a lot from his responses, and I thought others would too!

​As I wrap up another semester of online teaching with success rates at or near 100%, I decided to share the things I do that matter most to student learning and success. My hope is that this dispels any myth that teaching online is easy. Just as with learner success, teaching success is the result of deliberate effort, wise strategies, and help seeking. 

​The following are critical, minimum expectations for a high-quality online course:

​Below are the instructions I share for what I call Critical Thinking Discussions on Flipgrid. I host three of these formal Flipgrid discussions every quarter/semester. Students serve as Discussion Starters for one of the three discussions and Deep Thinkers for the other two. I use Canvas groups to randomly assign students to the Discussion Starter and Deep Thinker roles across the three discussions.

​With the recent and sudden shift from having face-to-face classes to moving fully online, it can be challenging to keep up the same level of productivity. Here are some tips that TNP editorial team put together to maximize our productivity while working from home.
