Teaching with Technology Roundtable

Next week we are starting an exciting new project in conjunction with Faculty Development: the Teaching with Technology Roundtable. On Mondays at 1 pm for the next 5 weeks, we will cover a variety of topics related to incorporating technology into the classroom. We start off with Nov. 7 with GIS, then Blogs and RSS (that's me), Learning Objects, "A Teaching HomePage", and wrap up with Learning Management Systems on Dec. 5. There are facilitators and/or guest speakers at each one, but the intent is to have a discussion, not a lecture. Come by and see what's possible!

Teaching with Technology Roundtable

Purpose:

1. Provide a place for faculty to discuss how they are using technology in the classroom as well as in their own work.
