Technology in the Classroom
Technology in the Classroom
Technology doesn't replace traditional teaching, it enhances it.
The Technology in the Classroom seminar series is a mixed
bag. We're offering theory, demonstrations and hands-on experience to
provide an overall picture of why, what and how technology can be used
in the classroom.
We hope you'll make time in your busy schedule to attend some of
these sessions. If you have any questions about them, please call
Kristen McQuillin (906-5302) or send e-mail to KMCQUILL.
Registration
Class size is limited in some sessions to permit effective
instructor:attendee ratios during hands-on exercises. To reserve a
seat in the workshops with participant limits, please e-mail KMCQUILL.
Seminars not marked as limited do not require pre-registration, but we
always appreciate an RSVP to help us make adequate preparations.
Seminar Descriptions
Using technology for technology's sake isn't sound instructional
philosophy. Come to this brownbag lecture, demonstration and
discussion to learn some of the ways institutions and individuals have
integrated technology into their classrooms. You'll leave with ideas
of how you might get started, how authoring teams work and where to go
for help. Be sure to bring your ideas and questions!
If you're committed to using technology during your class periods,
this seminar will help to explain the options available to you. We'll
cover network outlets, projections systems and other nuts and bolts.
Hypertext gives you the ability to search on any word, link related
information, create indices connected to content and organize in
non-linear ways. Folio VIEWS is a tool used in the legal profession to
organize research and assist collaborative writing. In this session,
you'll learn how to turn a Lexis download into a customized database
for research. This workshop is limited to 20 participants.
Lotus' Freelance Graphics offers options for exciting presentations
that can help structure your lecture time and keep you on
track. Computerized presentation materials can be used in classes, at
conferences and during meetings. During this session, you'll build a
brief presentation. This workshop is limited to 10 participants.
Fun and games? Sure! But the Internet has many academic uses as
well. You'll learn the differences among programs and services on the
Internet, find out what tools are being used at Chicago-Kent and visit
other institutions to see what they are doing to promote learning on
the Internet during this demonstration and hands-on session. This
workshop is limited to 20 participants.
Many classes can benefit from interactive, computerized lessons and
tutorials. These lessons can help students solidify concepts and
theories that they learn about during lecture and reading by
challenging them to think and respond. This session will help you to
define the design and creation process. You'll see work created by
Chicago-Kent faculty and learn how they used the Toolbook authoring
environment to create their lessons.
