We are about to close the period, and it is crucial that you prepare adequately. For this reason, we provide you with a checklist to avoid any inconvenience in the process: 

1. Verify evidence assessment: Ensure that all evidence is assessed correctly.

2. Review your assessment plan: Make sure your assessment plan has a final column and includes all activities contributing to your students' grades. Remember that activities should be published and configured with a weight of 100 and in points.

3. Identify the grade submission button: If you can't find the grade submission button in the menu, follow these steps: 

Menu > Settings > Navigation > Identify the grade submission button > Click on the three dots > Enable > Click on the save button.

4. Verify grade consistency: Check that the grades in the final column of the grading section match the grades in the grade submission section. If not, do not proceed with the submission and review your assessment plan.

5. Consider grade rounding: Remember that in the grade submission section, grades are reflected rounded. For example, if John Doe has a grade of 86.5, it will be shown as 87; if the grade is 86.4, it will show as 86 for the final grade.

6. Submit grades: Once you are sure the final grades match in the grade submission section, click on the blue button labeled "submit."

7. Download the confirmation PDF: Do not forget to download the PDF file, as it will serve as proof of what was submitted to the school department. 

Following these steps ensures a period closure without complications and an accurate and efficient grade submission. Your collaboration in this process is fundamental to ensure transparency and accuracy in the assessment of your students.

Have you missed any of the episodes of Sintonía CEDDIE? 

Visit the national site (https://ceddie.tec.mx/en/sintonia-ceddie) and access both seasons of this educational podcast, where you can listen to the interesting contributions of the teachers who have been with us throughout 18 episodes. Artificial intelligence, competency-based education, metaverses, and storytelling are just a few of the topics that have been directly addressed by the voices of teachers from Tecnológico de Monterrey and sister institutions. Below, we'll briefly tell you about some of them:

Denise Pope has taken us to explore the importance of fostering a climate of care and respect in education, as well as to learn about strategies that educators can employ to nurture it. Discover more in "Creating caring classrooms: Strategies for positive classrooms."

This episode was recorded in English by Pope, and for the first time, a Spanish version was created using artificial intelligence tools. 

Pilar Gómez, Ramona Fuentes, and Rosy Bremont, distinguished professors and mentors from CEDDIE's Teacher Accompaniment program, have guided us towards a reflection on what teaching entails today. Listen to this engaging interview in "Discovering Purpose in Teaching."

Carlos Astengo, Julieta Noguez, and Gildardo Sánchez have joined us in the discussion on artificial intelligence in education, exploring the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field.

Pablo Andrés Torres has helped us think outside the box to deliver unique classes through "storytelling." He has shared how he uses this technique in classrooms and how to create a narrative that allows for a captivating class structure. We invite you to listen to it in: "Can a Story Make My Class Flow Better?"

Francisco Ayala Aguirre, Director of Curriculum Design at the Academic Vice Presidency of Tecnológico de Monterrey, has shared the fundamental principles of competency-based educational models. Learn more in "Competency-Based Education."

Antonio Juárez has shared his experience teaching an Architecture class within the Virtual Campus of Tec de Monterrey, immersing us in the "metaverse," a virtual space in which we can experience and interact with other people, similar to what would happen in the real world.

Find out what they are and the Tecnológico de Monterrey’s strategy to certify the skills and abilities of its students at the Professional, Graduate and Continuing Education levels. 

Last July, the Tecnológico de Monterrey announced its institutional Credentials strategy as a commitment to formalize the actions that offer new options for the accreditation of learning, skills, and competencies that enhance the profile of its students. 

Access the official document here: 

https://bit.ly/Alternative-Credentials-Tec.

With this initiative, the Tec becomes the first institution in Mexico and Latin America to implement Curricular Credentials in the study plans of its students at a professional level, and it is also positioned as one of the first institutions to establish formal actions for the issuance of Alternative Credentials for your students, graduates or any person who wishes to continue acquiring specific skills. 

What are these Credentials?

The Curricular Credentials validate the comprehensive development of the competencies declared in the study plans, as well as the knowledge and skills obtained from other disciplines. These accreditations help to build a unique and differentiated graduation profile that allows the student to enhance their insertion in the labor market. 

On the other hand, the Alternative Credentials are formal and extracurricular accreditations of specific knowledge, skills and competences. They are acquired through optional additional courses according to one's own interests. This new type of training allows students and professionals to constantly update and expand their knowledge, demonstrating their experience with physical or digital evidence. 

In this way, the Tecnológico de Monterrey seeks that its students experience both types of training in parallel: that of a university degree and the development of specific skills, in order to complement and reinforce what they have learned. As you have seen, these credentials provide new, simpler, more accessible, and faster ways to acquire, deepen, or diversify the knowledge, skills, and competencies evidenced by job profiles. 

To find out all the information about this initiative, consult the official document of “Alternative Credentials at Tecnológico de Monterrey”, here:

Learn about the changes to offer you an exceptional experience in your search for information. 

Explore with intuitive navigation and a personalized design that will allow you to access a wide range of high-quality services and resources. Aware of the importance of listening to our users, and committed to improving the educational experience in the Library, the objective of this renewal is to facilitate a truly memorable information discovery and search process. 

In this sense, an exhaustive analysis was carried out using satisfaction measurement instruments, such as the Graduate Survey (ECAG), the General Library Satisfaction Survey and recognized international standards, such as LibQual. Thanks to this analysis, the key aspects that require updating were identified to offer an even more enriching educational experience.

 As a result, the new Library portal offers an innovative design and an intuitive interface characterized by more efficient navigation and easy access to the available resources. This allows students, teachers and researchers to make the most of its wide and diverse collection, as well as all digital services in an agile and timely manner.

Let's build a community free of bullying

Bullying is known as the deliberate and continuous physical and/or psychological mistreatment that a person receives from another person in an educational environment, with the objective of subduing, controlling, scaring or intimidating, in order to obtain a favorable result for the aggressor, or simply to satisfy the need to attack and destroy that is usually present.
