Instructional Tech. Showcase
 |
We hold our annual Instructional Technology Showcase during the middle of the fall semester. The Showcase is a daylong event, held in Room 204E of the Evans Library, where educators from throughout campus present 20-minute sessions, each covering individual software applications, technology concepts, or innovative teaching techniques for enhancing student learning.
The Showcase is a tremendous learning and networking opportunity to get overviews of various technologies from fellow educators who regularly use the tools in their own teaching and research. There is no cost to attend the Showcase, but attendees are encouraged to register to allow for better event planning. Registered attendees are served a boxed lunch and refreshments throughout the day.
