SMART CLASSROOMS: HOW TO USE CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY
As technological applications for instruction increase, so does the need for learning environments to include more advanced technology equipment. This session is designed to enable instructors to gain confidence in the operation of equipment that is installed in MCC's general smart classrooms. Learn how to:
· Operate the controls that run the equipment in the smart classrooms
· Access the M drive or bring Zip disks, CDs or flash drives to class
· Switch between PC, VCR, DVD
· Plug in your laptop to the system so it projects
· Control the audio levels in the room
· Use a closed captioned video in your class
· Plug in and use your own camcorder or other device.

PIXIEPRO CONTROL SYSTEMS
Are you teaching in one of the newly upgraded smart classrooms around campus? If so, you’ll want to attend this Brown Bag session. You will learn about the new PixiePro system installed in over 40 rooms and how to use it to your advantage while teaching. With PixiePro there is one location for all of your controls in the room. These units provide a common user interface panel in your classroom. No more learning multiple room configurations. If you know you will be in one of these classrooms for the semester and want to learn how to operate the PixiePro, attend this Brown Bag session.

WIKIs
Why Wiki? Wikis (from the Hawaiian word for “quick”) are web pages that can easily and quickly be updated. This makes them ideal for many purposes: class information, urgent messages, or anything that can change rapidly. This presentation will discuss one current application (the Psychology Learning Center web site) and will demonstrate the creation of an all-new Wiki just for the workshop!
Facilitated by Celia Reaves, Psychology; and Carol Burritt, ETS Computing.
