*Classroom Technology Updates* – Thursday, March 25 from 4-5pm (registration instructions)
This session will provide an overview of the new teaching technology that has been installed in over one hundred classrooms on campus. It will also include a demonstration of ways that this technology can be applied to use a hyflex model, providing the instructor with the option of having students attend/participate in the classroom or remotely.
Participants of this session can attend in-person or virtually via Zoom. The in-person option will allow for a hands-on opportunity to interact with the teaching station. However, space will be limited to 17 participants in the classroom. Once registered, we will confirm your preference for in-person or remote participation.
For those that are not able to attend, visit the CTE Youtube page for a brief video demonstrating the new classroom technology. This session will also be repeated at Summer Institute in August.
