Whoa. That was a mouthful.
The last Techno Tuesday for the semester will happen today at 3:30 in Peters 327 (note: our presenter cannot make the 12:15-1 time slot)
This session is for teachers of languages, but other faculty are more than welcome to attend!
We will be joined by Felix Kronenberg, formerly of Pomona College, now an assistant professor of German and Director of the Language Center at Rhodes College.
While at Pomona, Felix was the catalyst behind the NITLE-funded Language Technology BootCamp… a series of training and sharing sessions as well as the frequently updated BootCamp Manual that lists recommended technologies for the language teacher.
You can read more about BootCamp here: Feel free to download the manual and bring it to the session ( although the manual is an interactive pdf with embedded media so it is more useful in its digital form!)
If you are trying to plan a final review exercise that is not just fill in the blank but more production-based, if you want to provide more opportunities for your students to create in the target language, or if you want an alternative to powerpoint for student presentations, this session should be of interest.
Please come and meet Felix (he will be coming in via ichat or Skype) and talk with him about some of the new tools that are available for language teachers and learners.
As always, refreshing beverages will be provided 
Hope to see you this afternoon in Peters 327!
Really. Yes they are hand-trained and yes they are people-friendly, but if you take one out of the cage, you need to pay attention. Flaubert & friends can get themselves into a heap of trouble in very little time.
PLEASE play attention! oh…and PLEASE clean up after them!! Clorox wipes are available at the front desk.
While students have been recording lectures since the advent of the portable tape recorder, the advancements in digital recording abd the districbution of said materials over the internet have taken the process to an entirely new level. Web based services such as iTunesU, the Internet Archive and YouTube EDU allow students to access lectures, labs and more from most any location any time they wish.
Peter Naegele has been capturing lectures and labs at Oberlin since 2004. He will be speaking about the process, the changes in technology, and the challenges and victories he has experienced along the way.
Come and join him! Bring a lunch, we will provide the beverages.
Peters 327 at 12:15- 1 nd then again from 3:30-4:15.
