Fall Faculty Show and Share Events in CET Lab
Can Blogs, Video, or Facebook be Useful in My Courses? Find out starting Nov 15.
The Center for Educational Technology presents a new discussion series called "Faculty Show and Share." 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. Check out the Fall 2011 Events below. Space is limited so please register at the Instructional Support Services web site or by clicking the links below.
