Guest Lecture for NAU’s CC688 on Teaching & Technology

Tonight I’ll be guest lecturing about teaching with technology for a Fall 2008 section of CC688: College Teaching. I’m trying to input a bunch of material in one spot.

And now I’m playing catchup and editing this post…

We talked about:

What is Technology?
Issues related to Teaching with Technology
Some “new” technologies people are using in their teaching

To demo a technology, I had them do a PollEverywhere poll asking: When you think “technology” what are two or three words that come to mind? The answers I got:

difficult
computers email
It won’t work
money, efficiency, innovative
fun, innovative (Mike is my hero!)
fun, new, needed
hello
innovative, fast, new

I had them take a “Quick Start Survey” in Google Forms and asked them to select (from a long list) the current technologies they use in their teaching or work. The results are:
