RecycleMania
2019 |
Recyclemania is a nationwide intercollegiate contest designed to help our universities and communities become better stewards
of the environment. The friendly annual competition runs for eight weeks, beginning in February. The school that recycles the most material per capita wins the competition—however, we all win because we achieve a greener environment.
A successful recycling program requires education, promotion, teamwork, and the participation of the entire community. The success of our program at UTSA depends on your cooperation!
Please, before throwing away items, consider those recyclable products that can be disposed of in the blue recycling containers. These include paper, cardboard, plastics, and aluminum cans. Items that go into trash bins include items such as food, liquids,
used napkins and facial tissues, coffee grounds, and styrofoam.
Visit our recycling home page for an overview of recycling do’s and don’ts: http://www.utsa.edu/safety/?section=recycling&page=news#/recycling/recycling
Go Green! Go Roadrunners! Go UTSA! |

the journey to meaningful, effective ed tech integration. (https://www.iste.org/standards)

Educators design authentic, learner-driven activities and environments that recognize and accommodate learner variability.
For Educators: Designer 5b
Design authentic learning activities that align with content area standards and use digital tools and resources to maximize active, deep learning.

The 5 Interactive Question Types in Google Slides
There are 5 Interactive Slides or Question types. They allow you to ask every student for their answers, opinions, ideas and creativity. When you ask students a question through Pear Deck, every student answers on his or her own screen. You can choose to
display answers anonymously on the projector screen and you can see each individual answer on your Teacher Dashboard. With every question type you can put content on the main slide (which will show on the projector screen) and then configure the way students
will respond. Content you can put on the main slide area:

Drs.
Kristen Lindahl and Kathryn Henderson, faculty members in the Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies, recently received an Academic Innovation Course Redesign Grant from UTSA Teaching and Learning Services. 
I
decided to declare the African American Studies minor during my Junior year at UTSA. My first courses in the discipline changed my perspective on not only Black history, but on social issues to this day.
