Tech-Supported Learning Tools

Instructional Designer - Michaela Dodson

Description: This cohort will take a look at the various tools that are available to make your courses more interactive and engaging. While there are lots of "cool" technologies available, they do not need to be used in the classroom just because they are "cool". We need to engage our students more, and certainly, there are many technologies that will do that. However, technology for the sake of technology never works out well. We must be sure that the tools we use maintain the educational integrity of the lesson, and specifically that they do not get "in the way" of teaching. There are so many tools that can make the classroom more enriching and engaging. What are these tools? How do we learn to use them? This cohort will explore these questions and participants will learn to implement many of these tools.
