The Teaching, Learning and Technology Center has been sowing the seeds of new technology, learning and developing its features to meet the needs of the university.  Now is your opportunity to explore the fruits of our labor and to harvest the technology!
 
The TLT Center will be hosting a number of workshops throughout the month of November to demonstrate the use of these new technologies and to show you how you can use the technology to enhance teaching and learning. Topics include Web 2.0, Dyknow, Adobe Acrobat and the Adobe Multimedia Series. To register for any of these workshops, please visit http://tltc.shu.edu/register.

The first workshop, "Imagine the Possibilities: Web 2.0 Tools for 21st Century Teaching and Learning", instructed by Mary Zedeck will be offered on November 11 from 12 - 3 pm in the Computer Training Center located on the first floor of the Walsh Library. During the Workshop, Zedeck will demonstrate the use of web tools and will provide hands-on opportunity to explore the use of these tools.
 
Dyknow Day will be held on November 18 from 12 - 3 pm in the ITV Room on the first floor of the Walsh Library. During the workshop, the instructor, Riad Twal, will demonstrate the classroom management capabilities of Dyknow which allows for collaborative note taking and content sharing. Come check out this powerful tool which fosters a new level of faculty and student interaction in the classroom.
 
If you are interested in learning how to use the PDF capability of Adobe Acrobat to foster collaboration, you won't want to miss the Adobe workshop on November 19th. This on-line seminar will be facilitated by Robert McDaniels from NMC Corporate Partner Adobe, Inc and will demonstrate how rich media and collaboration features in Adobe Acrobat can be used to foster student collaboration via the web.
