9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Hope College, Holland, MI
For faculty, instructional and information technologists, and librarians from Hope College and other participating colleges who are interested in an introduction to a wide range of recently developed applications that have potential for classroom use. Special focus: Web 2.0. (4 program units. Liaisons' deadline: Friday, April 4, 2008)
Web 2.0, gaming, mobility—the sheer size and accessibility of cyberculture have transformed teaching and doing research at every educational level. In this workshop, participants will consider the pedagogical applications of a wide range of inter-related emerging technologies, including such "Web 2.0" projects and services as podcasting, video blogging, social bookmarking, blogging, RSS, and collaborative writing platforms, as well as wireless and mobile technologies and computer gaming. After exploring the landscape in which these emerging technologies rapidly evolve and interact, participants will spend the afternoon considering how to integrate web 2.0 technologies into their teaching and/or academic support work. Participants will leave the workshop with a learning-centered plan that uses at least one emerging technology to promote student learning and engagement.
This workshop is available through NITLE's Workshops-to-Go program, which delivers professional development opportunities for faculty and academic support staff directly to participating campuses. Workshops-to-Go focus on the effective integration of technology into teaching and learning. Contact your campus liaison to explore options for bringing a Workshop-to-Go to your campus. Liaisons may order Workshops-to-Go by contacting Rebecca Davis.
