Technology Workshops
"So that's a key question: How can we focus on what we do best without missing new opportunities to do better?" -- Cathy Davidson
FD&C in partnership with the Malone Center offers a series of Teaching with Technology workshops for teachers who want to do more with digital technologies in their classes. These peer-led and hands-on workshops typically have 5-15 participants and usually by the end of the hour everyone is online and playing around with a tool or application. There are ample opportunities for neophytes (including some technophobes) to get personal assistance. Workshops are also a good way to get in touch with others on campus with similar technology interests. Beginners welcome!
If you would like to lead a session, contact Lisa Brown of the Malone Center or Kathy King, Director of FD&C. Suggestions welcome.
