A SL/CE of Upstate

This is the space to keep abreast of cool things that are happening in Upstate’s SL/CE world.

On the SL/CE for Instructors page, you’ll find information about SL/CE: celebrations & awards, professional development opportunities, and ways we all can collaborate to better reach our students and our community

SL/CE Stories center around the theme “we care and are doing something about it.” Topics vary. Styles vary. SL/CE practitioners are invited to author their own stories. Stories matter!

SL/CE for Students shares much of this same content, but for the student audience.

The list below displays all the most recent SL/CE blog posts.
