Welcome to TC- IT 2008

TC-IT is a SUMMER INSTITUTE led by faculty leaders, Academic Computing and guest experts.

The goal of TC-it is to provide reflection on the following question: “How can we make use of new technologies so that we can create rich contexts that will engage students more actively in the construction of knowledge?”

  •  Introduce faculty to a broad range of new technologies and resources;
  • Provide hands-on activities to encourage faculty to create their digital portfolio or develop innovative and effective strategies for integrating digital tools into their teaching process;
  • Engage faculty in a dialogue about pedagogy, curriculum, and technology.
