The teaching toolkit available for instructors to use during
lectures has increased significantly in the past few years. In
addition to overhead and 35mm slides, videos, and sound
recordings, instructors now often use the World Wide Web and
presentation software, mixing and matching to fit the topic and
class.
The first forum in the series will focus on this topic, with the
goal of sharing experiences, exploring new ideas, and solving
real problems associated with Teaching with Technology. The
panel and attendees will discuss these and other questions: What
is the value of using technology in lectures? Is it worth the
extra work? How does the size of the class change what works and
what doesn't? What is a good balance between lights down/lights
up time? What do you do when the bulb blows? How do you prepare
for the inevitable glitches? What works and what doesn't? and
what do we know about why?
