Lake Forest College, Lake Forest, IL
For faculty, technologists, and librarians from Lake Forest College and other participating colleges who are interested in considering the appropriate place of technology in academic life and learning how "digital immigrants" like themselves have successfully used technology to enhance their teaching or scholarship. (4 program units. Liaisons' deadline: Friday, May 9, 2008)
Today’s first-year students arrive on campus as digital natives with high expectations about technology. For "digital immigrant" faculty and staff, learning how to use new technologies in order to keep up with rising expectations may seem to demand too much time. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to raise their concerns about the appropriate place of technology in academic life and learn about successful experiences that digital immigrants like themselves have had in using technology to enhance their teaching or scholarship. The workshop will help participants find and use appropriate technology tools for information management, communications, organization, and productivity. Finally, participants will have a chance to develop strategies for effectively managing time, student expectations, and technology.
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.
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To participate in this workshop, please contact your campus liaison. Your campus liaison will select your campus's nominees and send their names to NITLE. Nominees will receive further information from NITLE about the registration process.
