The most important benefits to using technology occur outside of the classroom. Use technology for first exposure to material, student engagement, preparation between classes, new assignments and to free yourself from the need to “cover” all of the content in the classroom. This creates more class time for face-to-face (naked) interaction and discussion between faculty and students, which is the best way to stimulate the change in mental models that is real learning (and justify the higher price tag of our physical campus experience). The classroom of the future is a seminar, not a lecture hall. This
workshop is focused on student engagement to prepare for class.
