Showcase Presenters - A Special Thank YOU!

The Distance Learning and Instructional Technologies Department and the Learning Academy for Faculty and Staff invites you to participate in our 2nd annual Teaching, Learning, and Technology Showcase. This is a unique event for sharing, learning, experiencing, and connecting with your colleagues around the topic of teaching, learning, and technology.

In a nutshell, this is an "eposter/exhibit type" event and it is designed as an informal opportunity to share with and to see how your peers are using technology for teaching and learning.

"Events like this put a fire under our teaching engine and allow valuable knowledge transfer!" - Szymon Machajewski

"The showcase is an outstanding event that allows faculty to come together in an informal setting to exchange ideas to enhance student success!" - Eric Kunnen

"This event enables faculty to informally collaborate with each other in ways that were simply not possible before!" - Garry Brand

Your attendance will allow you to contribute to the community of practice of teaching here at GRCC.

2) ASK and ANSWER
"How are faculty using technology to enhance teaching and to improve student learning?", "How can I use my laptop in my teaching?", "What are Wikis and Blogs?", and "What is podcasting, and how can I use it in my teaching?", etc.

3) Make CONNECTIONS
Connect with other faculty here at GRCC while sharing innovative teaching practices with each other! Nothing can substitute for the experience of taking time, to engage with colleagues in dialogue around topics of teaching, learning, and technology!

MORE INFORMATION

Need more information? What is this Showcase you ask? Picture a time where faculty can drop in and talk with their peers who have implemented technology into their teaching. The room will be set up with tables around the perimeter with laptops for demo purposes.

This second Distance Learning and Instructional Technologies and Learning Academy sponsored event is intended to provide faculty an opportunity to explore real world examples of how GRCC faculty have integrated technology into their teaching.

This event is organized into "faculty exhibits" around the perimeter of the room, whereby faculty can browse and talk with their peers about the impact of technology in teaching and learning.

The "faculty exhibits" will be set up in a poster session type format. Each presenter will have a laptop, and a sign that includes the name, title, and statement of how technology is being used in teaching and learning.

Also, there will be snacks and several door prizes! :)
