Engaging Students Through Technology 2010

The Weigle Information Commons presents the Third Annual Symposium
Friday, October 15, 2010, 10:30 am to 3 pm

We live today in a state of “continuous partial attention”. Instant access to people and information can both engage and distract us. New tools break down classroom boundaries and change the nature of college education. This year's symposium explores the creative ways faculty are integrating technologies into teaching, the challenges they face, and the disruptive nature of mobile technologies in lecture contexts.

2011 Engaging Students Through Technology Symposium

The fourth annual Engaging Students Through Technology
October 28, 2011 10am - 2:30pm

The 2011 symposium tackles two broad questions:

  1. How should I use technology, in my classroom and outside my classroom, to engage my students?
  2. How should I manage the technology (laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc.) that my students bring to my classroom?

The symposium includes a faculty panel, a student panel, lunch, discussion and hands-on sessions. Registration is open for Penn faculty and instructors. Interested graduate students can email wic1@pobox.upenn.edu to be included on a space-available basis. Register now!
