Join us this fall as we talk about tools for teaching and learning (and sometimes just plain ole fun stuff)….one tool at a time…on Tuesdays. Bring a lunch, we’ll provide the drinks!

October 27: Exploring Second Life for teaching and learning, with Sue Simonson Shick, Case Western Reserve University. Second Life is an online virtual reality tool that many higher ed institutions use for promotional purposes, but more and more educators are exploring its educational possibilities. Here are some links to articles about SL from our delicious page

We meet in Peters 327 from 12:15-1:00 and then again in the same place from 3:30-4:15.
TechnoTuesdays follows this format: We highlight one tool per session, and we ask the following questions:
What is it?
How does it work?
Who is using it?
How can it be used for teaching and learning?
What do I do if I want to learn more?
