Instructional Technology Past Sessions
The Technology For Teaching Series
This series focuses on aligning technology with educational best practices. Innovative use of technology can excite the mind and re-energize the practice of teaching. However, at the core of higher education teaching and learning there must be an adherence to sound pedagogy. In this series we will explore technologies that have educational potential and provide examples of how they are being used at Carthage and the greater educational community.
The following sessions have already occurred, and were recorded. The session video links are underneath the session descriptions.
January 1/12
Using Technology to Encourage Student Engagement

February 2/9
Using Technology to Foster Group Work
Students dread group work for two main reasons: 1) finding a place and time to work together, and 2) uneven contributions by individual group members. Through the use of technology you will be shown ways to make it easier for students to collaborate and more transparent for you to grads individual student work.
