Faculty Technology Institute 2012

May 14th - 18th

Please join us during the third week in May for a fun filled week dedicated to exploring technology you can use. Each year we hold over 40 technology workshops organized in four tracks. Workshops are designed to meet a variety of interests and levels of expertise, and continental breakfast and lunch are provided daily.

2012 will follow the same format as in past years. There’s no need to stick to a particular track, and participants can mix and match morning workshops to come up with a schedule suited to their specific needs and interests.  After lunch we invite the entire campus to attend a general afternoon session.  Finally, each participant is partnered with one of the IT Consultants who will be available to personally answer your tech questions and assist with projects both during and after the Institute.

2012 Tracks

Going Google

Lewis & Clark is moving to Google Apps for Education Spring 2012!  Workshops in this track will cover popular everyday topics from our Google Morning Series and how-to workshops to help migrate ~ websites to Google Sites.

Moodle

Moodle is still the easiest way to securely distribute course materials and add online interaction to your class.  The 2.1 upgrade makes it even easier and more intuitive to upload and quickly share course materials, and the addition of new features such as conditional release, allow you even more control over your online classroom. 

Focus on Teaching

Each year we have a track dedicated to exploring technology that directly impacts the classroom and how you teach.  Last year we discussed how devices like iPads and clickers impact the classroom and how we and our students create, share and interact with digital media. 

Cool Tools and Emerging Technology

In this track, we have hands-on workshops creating and editing video, audio and other digital files with the latest and greatest tools, explore trends in social media, and take a look at personal tech topics that we think have the potential to impact teaching and learning. 

Check out last year’s schedule to get a taste of what we offer.
