You will leave with the essential tools and techniques to immediately begin implementing these emerging tools at your institution.
Who Should Attend:
Faculty and staff interested in starting to use collaborative technologies such as blogs, podcasts, wikis, and Writely in support of teaching efforts will receive the introduction they need to get started. This will not be an advanced discussion of any of these technologies, but will supply attendees with enough information and resources to immediately implement the basics of each technology as part of the learning process.
