Engaging Students Via Technology


Yesterday’s Conversation with the President was an insightful dialogue with faculty and students regarding use of technology and how students would like to see MCC using technology in the classroom and in services. Some students wish for more information sharing via text messaging. Some would like to see podcasts of lectures. Nearly all are technologically connected and savvy.

My interest in discussing this topic was fueled by a recent presentation I saw at the League for Innovation’s Conference on Information Technology. It is one of the best presentations I have ever seen – and I’ve seen many! I encourage you to watch this 60-minute presentation by Dr. Chris Dede, Professor in Learning Technologies, Harvard Graduate School of Education. I think you will find it thought-provoking.
