WHERE & WHEN

WHAT

This is a unique event for sharing, learning, experiencing, and connecting with your colleagues around the topic of teaching, learning, and technology.

In a nutshell, this is an "eposter/exhibit type" event and it is designed as an informal opportunity to share with and to see how your peers are using technology for teaching and learning.

WHY

1) SHARE and LEARN
Your participation (as a presenter or participant) is what makes this event unique, diverse, innovative, and successful! It is a perfect opportunity for you to share your teaching with technology experiences with your peers and to learn something new! Your attendance will allow you to contribute to the community of practice of teaching here at GRCC.

2) ASK and ANSWER
"How are faculty using technology to enhance teaching and to improve student learning?", "How can I use my laptop in my teaching?", "What are Wikis and Blogs?", and "What is podcasting, and how can I use it in my teaching?", etc.

3) Make CONNECTIONS
Connect with other faculty here at GRCC while sharing innovative teaching practices with each other! It's a great opportunity to engage with fellow colleagues in an informal dialogue around topics of teaching, learning, and technology.

4) FREE Food & Door Prizes!
Where else can you get a free snack, some coffee, or some juice? :) You'll even have a chance to win an iPod... just for attending.

MORE INFORMATION

Need more information? What is this Showcase you ask? Picture a time where faculty can drop in and talk with their peers who have implemented technology into their teaching. The room will be set up with tables around the perimeter with laptops for demo purposes.

This event is intended to provide faculty an opportunity to explore real world examples of how GRCC faculty have integrated technology into their teaching.

This event is organized into "faculty exhibits" around the perimeter of the room, whereby faculty can browse and talk with their peers about the impact of technology in teaching and learning.

The "faculty exhibits" will be set up in a poster session type format. Each presenter will have a laptop, and a sign that includes the name, title, and statement of how technology is being used in teaching and learning.

Still unsure about attending? Here are a few quotes from our past presenters:
