"Workshops that are conducted by ITS
are just great. They gave me an
opportunity to learn new things and new
tools like Microsoft Groove and even old
tools in greater detail. I've attended
workshops on advanced tools like
Dreamweaver and techniques like
cascading style sheets.
I never thought I could design a website
by myself. But believe me, I can now!"

Technology Enhanced Classrooms
• Showcase available technology
– Interactive smart board
– Document camera
– VHS/DVD combo player
– Laptop carts
Technology in Action!
"Two of the many great features of the
smart boards is that professors can save
their lecture one day and pick up where
they left off the next and also they can
scroll through slides instead of sliding
boards one over the other.
It's a much better system than the dry
erase boards for professors who tend to
write on the board."

"What a great tool for
capturing lecture notes to
share with online
students, as well as to
have available in

students to review or
catch up on missed
classes!"

"There simply wasn’t time
to cover 24 topics in 16
class sessions. So I created
this ‘pajama lecture’ to
avoid having to schedule a
special session or telling
my students that there
would be topics on the
final that weren’t covered
in class."

"I have been pleased with the
students’ exhibition of
engagement between content
and technology. My students
have really liked the immediate
feedback that they received
when using the clickers and
disagreements on answers has
sparked some lively discussion
between students."

NetOps Classroom Management Tool
• Broadcast instructor or student computer
screens to all the PCs in the lab
• Take control of another computer for
instruction or demonstration purposes
Technology in Action!
"I can see the code that my students are
working on while they type! This helps me
to quickly identify which students are
having difficulties applying the theory to
the actual code.
NetOps also allows me to share great
code segments from individual students
with the entire class. It lets the students
see how different classmates take
different approaches to problem-solving."
