The National Teachers' Meeting (RNP) 2024 was a space for reflection and learning during the annual meeting of the professional and graduate academic community of Tecnológico de Monterrey. In the milestone of a world driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), this three-day event stood out for its invitation to know and visualize not only the reaches of technology, but also the exciting cultural change in which human flourishing plays a leading role.      

Teachers from all over the country joined in this event, sharing experiences and learning. The Dialogue Tables invited teachers to reflect on the impact of AI in different fields of teaching, from teaching practice and creativity, to its responsible use and its impact on sustainable development. Teachers not only joined the discussion, but also worked on proposals on how AI can improve and advance education. 

During the Development Workshops, workshops were offered on different topics such as Teaching Excellence, Educational Innovation, Artificial Intelligence, Teacher's Well-being, Diversity, Inclusion, Sustainability, among others. In addition, two intensive workshops were offered: LXD Week and AI Enriched Learning. The objective of these development days is that teachers not only learn about the topics, but are also able to apply what they have learned in their classrooms. The participation of our teachers in the artificial intelligence track stands out, with 2,803 participants/course and 1,139 unique participants. 

To relive this event, we highlight three key elements:       

1. The AI Guide: An essential tool was shared with professors so they could quickly understand what AI is and how it is promoted from Tecnológico de Monterrey. To read the guide, click here.       

2. Talk by MJ Petroni: This expert on the complex relationships between humans and machines addressed the topic of cultivating a thriving mindset in the age of AI. Expect access to all the talks from the event in this week's upcoming release.       

3. Innovation Projects: 114 educational innovation projects were presented in the Tecnológico de Monterrey metaverse, showcasing the creativity and skills of our professors through their classroom implementations.

 The RNP 2024 has been an exciting and enriching event that helped teachers to understand and reflect on the evolution of education in the era of Artificial Intelligence.

Do you have everything ready for the first day of school?

For the start of the August-December 2024 semester, we want to help you make everything perfect.

Here is a checklist so you can have your classes ready: 

Remember that Canvas will be the platform that you will use throughout the teaching of your class. Be sure to personalize your account and turn on notifications to maintain good communication with your students.

Here are some recommendations for organizing your course:

•⁠  ⁠Update course information, write a welcome post, and organize your modules.

•⁠  ⁠Link the evidence(s) with eLumen. (Remember that sometimes the rubric is already pre-filled.)

•⁠  ⁠Configure the evaluation plan.

•⁠  ⁠Publish the content your students need to see.

In addition, we leave you some key points to keep in mind:

•⁠  ⁠Have your institutional account and digital key on hand. If you need help, contact TecServices (tecservices@servicios.tec.mx) or the IT area of your campus.

•⁠  ⁠In the miTec space, you will find important tools such as Canvas, the teacher's schedule and Success Factors. If you are a Tec21 teacher, you can also consult specific functions offered by miTec21.

In the most recent period, February-June 2024, topics such as emotions, finances, use of devices, and life-long well-being were covered. Here is a brief overview of them:

In The Magic of the Classroom as a Creative and Critical Thinking Space: The Challenge of Using Devices, Victoria Batres reflected on some of the challenges professors face in the classroom due to the constant use of mobile devices by students and how creativity and critical thinking can counteract this. 

Verónica Pedrero explored how emotions are always linked to the body and how, similarly, feelings are connected to thoughts. She invited us to reflect on how we experience the sensations of pain and well-being in our daily lives. Talk: What is behind my emotions?

In The ABCs of personal finance, Francisco Orozco shared basic tools for personal financial planning, including creating a budget, understanding the elements of a credit card, and knowing what to look for when investing money.

Alberto Palacios, Andrea Domínguez, Armando Díaz, and Karla Ojeda discussed the social, physical (health and nutrition), and spiritual dimensions of well-being at different stages of life, and how context influences decision-making to enhance quality of life. Panel: Lifelong well-being.

Learn more about these and other fascinating approaches to wellness, aimed at providing learning spaces and support tools for well-being in daily life!

We invite you to join us in the various activities of the Teacher Well-being Program organized by CEDDIE! Check the schedule on the official website.

In August, training workshops will begin to help teachers understand how to update the URLs in their CANVAS courses following the update of the Digital Library. 

This update now facilitates authentication and access to all collections through a single and standardized entry. The new authentication process is through the OpenAthens platform, making it easier to access over 177 digital collections and millions of reference resources. The goal is to authenticate once instead of for each collection.        

Don't worry about "broken links" messages, the resources remain available in the Digital Library for you and your students, you just need to update the URLs you have in CANVAS for all your courses.       

If you want to learn more about this change and how to resolve or convert direct links in your courses, we recommend signing up for workshops that will be held on two different dates:    

• Tuesdays, August 6th, 13th, and 20th at 10:00 am   
• Thursdays, August 8th, 15th, and 22nd at 3:00 pm

Starting June 20, you can enjoy an improved experience in the Digital Library, with unique and approved access to more than 148 Digital Collections, as well as millions of articles in magazines, newspapers and research journals.  We will implement a new authentication through the OpenAthens platform, so that you identify yourself only once, instead of doing so for each Digital Collection.

Due to this technological change, access to the Library's electronic resources will change and you will need to update the URLs you have in CANVAS for all your courses.  If you require support to change the URLs of books, articles, videos and other digital resources that you declared on your course pages, please go to your campus Library. 

Don't be surprised by the alert of “broken links”! Resources are still available in the Digital Library for you and your students.   

Likewise, we are at your disposal on the Library portal, “Help / Contact” section https://biblioteca.tec.mx/inicio/contacto , where you can write us or make an appointment with a librarian. 

If you have questions or need more information, we invite you to visit your local Library.
