Teaching with Technology Forum
Fall 2005
The Instructional Technology Center is hosting a Technology Discussion Forum. The focus of this forum is the use of technology in foreign language teaching, but all interested faculty are welcome to attend. During the forum, I would like to briefly demonstrate some new features of Blackboard and some other new programs available in the Instructional Technology Center. The demonstrations will be followed by a discussion with faculty members who used these teaching tools this semester. I am hoping that this discussion forum will allow faculty members to share their experiences and thoughts, and develop some new ideas for the next semester.
