Dear Friends, 
Registration is now open for NERCOMP's upcoming workshop: 
"The P Word: What is Pedagogy, and Should it Drive Instructional Technology?"

DATE: 
January 19, 2006

TIME: 
9:00- 3:25 (Coffee and Registration start at 8:00)

PRICE: 
NERCOMP Members: $91, Non-Members: $191

LOCATION: 
Southbridge Hotel & Conference Center 
14 Mechanic Street 
Southbridge, MA.

DESCRIPTION: 
More and more we hear the "P word" bandied about as we plan projects that incorporate technology in teaching and learning. But what is pedagogy, exactly? Is there a right way to teach? Is good pedagogy at odds with technology? Can gadgets really help people learn? How do we put learning theory to use? This SIG seeks to answer these and other related questions by bringing together a variety of provocative and entertaining speakers from among faculty and instructional technology experts at several New England colleges and universities. 
Presentations will include an overview of recent developments in pedagogy, considerations of the appropriateness of technology in the classroom, real-world examples of pedagogy-friendly technology use, and suggestions for using learning theory as a means to engage faculty.
