The Instructional Technology Center
is hosting the semiannual Teaching
with Technology Forum.
Come and share ideas and experiences
using technology in teaching.
Date: Wednesday, December 16th, 2009
Time:
1:30pm ~3:00pm
Place: Language
Learning Center, Stokes 205
The presentations will include:
Kimiko Suzuki, Visiting Lecturer
of Japanese, "Creating Narrated Tours in Google Earth"
Google Earth
can bring authentic materials to foreign language classrooms. Students
can "fly" anywhere in the world and find out what locations
look like. With Google Earth 5, you can create a narrated tour. I will
share some of the students' projects and ideas for using Google Earth.
Duane Kight, Assistant Professor of French, "Using
Elluminate as a presentation
tool."
Elluminate is a web-based videoconferencing
system that integrates a variety
of communication channels and
interactive activities including
multipoint audio and video,
group and private chat, shared
and interactive whiteboard,
file transfer (between users),
and session recording and online
playback. There are a lot of
ways to use Elluminate. You
can use Elluminate to have an
office hour or make-up class,
invite speakers to your class
from anywhere in the world, or have a meeting with your colleagues. I
will do a demo of Elluminate and discuss the use of the program for teaching.
Join us for enrichment, discussion, and the chance to see what your colleagues are doing with technology.
