Tuesday Teaching Talk is a regular feature which, as the name implies, is an opportunity to talk explicitly about teaching (and learning) in the practical and philosophical sense that happens on, you guessed it, Tuesday. Hold on to your hats. The CAST coordinators (yes there are 2 of us) are tasked with supplying TTTs to you. Look for questions, videos, tips, etc. Enjoy!
What do you think of this?

Here’s today’s teaching tip from the BOK Blog.
Be honest. Be clear. But above all, be passionate.
Connect an out-of-class passion with in-class topics. Love camping or mixology? Point out that you sometimes think about the chemistry of caramelization while cooking smores over the campfire, or relate your efforts to recreate F. Scott Fitzgerald’s favorite libation. Students like a multi-dimensional teacher, and your ability to bring your extracurricular interests to bear on course materials will encourage students to do the same.
What do you think about this?

Here’s the scoop about this.
Please find below official write-up with regard to last week’s YouTube issue. This report has been prepared by District OIT Network Enterprise team. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you. Ewa
On Wednesday, February 8, YouTube blocked our access to their site due to an errant device within our network sending unknown/questionable network traffic. In blocking access to their site, YouTube was following industry best practices, taking precautionary measures to ensure that their infrastructure remained secure. This issue also caused the City Colleges firewall to mis-categorize YouTube as a threat to our network and block access in turn. By Thursday, February 9, the CCC Network Security Team resolved these issues and CCC users are once again able to visit YouTube from within our network. We apologize for the inconvenience this outage may have caused you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact the cohelpdesk@ccc.edu

Scroll down and check it out or look at these screen shots. Note that I’m on a CCC issued MacBook.
Editor’s Note: OIT (district and local) has responded to this post and assured me that the problem has been resolved. I’ve asked for some more details, similar to those in the comments. I’ll let you all know what I find out.

A few quick adverts…
1) Today is the first CAST Pedagogy Subgroup meeting at 2 in 1046.
2) Thursday is the first of four Thursday Teaching Talks (a different/new TTT; CAST loves the letter T apparently). This Thursday is Cookies and CAST where we’ll discuss creating crumbs of curiosity in our teaching.
Without further ado, here’s today’s TTT.
