ABSTRACT: New technology tools abound within the educational environment. Every day a steady stream of exciting new hardware, cloud-based tools, wearable devices, and apps emerge to entice educators. Busy educators often do not have the time or opportunity to try out new technologies or to read the research behind good decision-making in technology adoption. This workshop will include discussion, hands on, active learning where participants will engage with the presenters, each other, and technologies and techniques.
First: A word about Power Pointless! We at the University of Illinois Springfield Center for Online Learning, Research and Service present often at academic conferences. We encourage attendees to freely share presentation materials online using web-native tools that encourage collaboration and updating. You may follow the session using your personal mobile device to dig deeper into the topics we discuss and share with others following the conference.
