Teaching with Technology

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic.

Technology

We prohibit the use of smart phones in the classroom unless it is for research. Students are allowed to look up career related subjects (facebook is not one of them though) Many of my fellow instructors are placing course material online.

scial media

I feel that all of the students should use social media, and the instructors should work it into the class, but the instructors should not be on the social media sites that the students are also on. There is a line that could be crossed.

new tech

I love involving todays tech. Modt of our students are younger so it helps keep them involved and interested in the course. For the few older ones, it is harder, but once they get the hang of it they also love it
