[Webpub] eTeaching Day at Boston College - May 14th

[Lisa Mayer]

 From my friends across the river....

Hello all,

The Instructional Design and eTeaching Services department at Boston  
College invites you to participate in our annual eTeaching  
conference.  The morning portion of the day focuses on faculty  
educational technology projects, followed by a keynote speaker over  
lunch, with product demonstrations and hands-on workshops in the  
afternoon.

Topics covered during the morning presentations will include:  
recreating the context of art through technology; integrating  
collaborative technologies into teaching; and utilizing multimedia  
templates to present course content.

Over lunch, Dr. Henry Jenkins, the Peter de Florez Professor of  
Humanities and Co-Director of the Comparative Media Studies Program at  
MIT, will give the keynote lecture, “What Wikipedia Can Teach Us About  
the New Media Literacies."

In the afternoon, we will have hands-on workshops and demonstrations  
that range from teaching with wikis and podcasts to personal response  
systems (clickers in the classroom).

We will also recognize faculty who were nominated by students for  
their outstanding uses of technology to enhance learning during the  
Teaching with New Media Awards ceremony.

Please register by Friday, May 9th. Detailed information on the day
