Use of Technology at CMC

Recent Articles on The Wired Campus

How to Find What Clicks in the Classroom, Judith Tabron: At the end of this article, Tabron notes: “It will be a dismal future if the only thing our graduates cannot do online is learn.” In the article, she talks about coming back three years ago from teaching to IT administration and found little had changed in the use of technology. She talks about what colleges need to do to support the use of technology inside and outside the classroom. http://chronicle.com/free/v54/i29/29a03801.htm?top20

Another article, Colleges Bought Classroom Technology, but Are Enough Professors Using It?, found at http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=2849&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en, further reflects on this article. The comments posted to this article were very interesting.

What are your thoughts about Blackboard, Elluminate Live! or other technologies CMC has made available to you as faculty?
