Event Description

Join us at the Scarfe Foyer during lunchtime on January 27th to see this month’s Technology in Transit showcase, featuring Wikispaces!

Wikispaces is an open-classroom management platform that facilitates student-teacher communication and collaboration. Using Wikispaces, teachers and students can write and edit pages together, create and edit group or individual projects, communicate in a private social network, and participate in real-time formative assessments. Drop by Jolene’s booth on January 27th to learn more about how teachers are using Wikispaces and how you could integrate it into your own classroom!

At Educational Technology Support, one of our key goals is to raise technology awareness and demonstrate the various applications of technology in teaching and learning. On the second Wednesday of every month, Educational Technology Support (ETS) hosts Technology in Transit. Technology in Transit provides a space for Teacher Candidates and graduate students to display the different technologies that they have been actively using in their courses. The one-hour session offers passers-by the chance to observe and engage with educational technology as they walk through Scarfe Foyer during their lunch break.
