Presented by

How do we help students connect their learning? How do we, as educators, develop pedagogies and practices that advance and deepen integrative learning? Campuses across the country -- from community colleges and research universities to liberal arts colleges -- are experimenting with ways to use electronic student portfolios to support integration. CUNY's LaGuardia Community College has drawn wide recognition as an international leader in this effort. Dr. Bret Eynon, LaGuardia's Dean for Teaching and Learning, will share insights, practices and research data from LaGuardia and other campuses in the national FIPSE-funded Connect to Learning project
Bret Eynon and Laura Gambino will meet with interested faculty for follow-up discussion in the Center for Faculty Excellence, Gannett 316, from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.

Faculty Show and Share is a series put on by the Center for Educational Technology in collaboration with the Center for Faculty Excellence. Each session features a guest faculty member who shows how they use a technology to address a teaching goal. Come hear what worked - or didn't work in a format that is informal, experimental, and fun. Discussion is encouraged and anyone is welcome regardless of their experience with technology.
We are always looking for faculty to show and share. Please contact Marilyn Dispensa (mdispensa@ithaca.edu or 274-3647) if you are interested.
