Next Two Individual Fall Workshops

The next two workshops will both be during the week of Oct 31st. Having seen what the workshop leaders have in store I'm super excited to announce, 


CREATING INCLUSIVE CLASSROOMS FOR ALL STUDENTS


Date: Tuesday, Nov 1st 
Time: 4:00 - 6:00pm 
Place: 1360 Surge III 


As educators, our ability to effectively improve the lives of our students is connected to our ability to establish a learning environment that is simultaneously challenging, supportive and inclusive. Creating such an environment for all students requires sensitivity to societal subtleties that are often unseen. This workshop is designed to increase our self awareness, positively contribute to our ability to effect change in the classroom, and augment our lives and the lives of our students through cultural awareness.

    Jeff Anderson, Mathematics
    Matt Nesvet, Anthropology 


EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY: THE OLD, THE NEW, AND THE UGLY 


Date: Friday, Nov 4th 
Time: 1:10 - 3:10pm 
Place: 27 Olson Hall 


What role does technology play in your classroom? From gizmos to gadgets, advancements in the tech world have made their way into our curriculums, affecting the way we teach and the way our students learn. This workshop will provide creative tools to enhance your knowledge about productive (and not-so-productive) uses of classroom technology. With hands-on demonstrations, we aim to minimize the TA/faculty workload and enrich student learning at the same time. Expect to gain skills in streamlining your use of SmartSite tools, creating more effective PowerPoint presentations, and mastering online tools like blogs and wikis.
