DTLT will be hosting our 11th Annual Faculty Academy on Instructional Technology on May 16 and 17, 2006 in Combs Hall on the UMW campus in Fredericksburg, VA.
Thus, the planning, arranging, thinking, longing, obsessing, anticipating and just plain work of preparing for the conference is in full swing.
At this conference, the faculty are the stars - they present on their successes, insights, and struggles in the classroom with instructional technology. We also invite outside speakers to help us broaden our thinking about technology in teaching and learning. Hands-on Worshops are also offered as a way to expand our skills sets.
This year, our Keynote Speaker is Jon Udell. His regular gig is writing for InfoWorld magazine - specifically he is the “Strategic Developer” columnist. But don’t let that fool you - Jon is a teacher at heart. If you travel over to our FA 2006 web site you will find some links to screencasts (little movies that describe and demonstrate) that he has produced. He will be speaking on the topic of “21st Century Literacy” on May 17th.
So, between now and then, we will be getting ready for a jam packed 2 day conference.
If you are interested in presenting, or just attending one or both days (no charge to attend, plus a boxed lunch for registered participants!), come on over to the Faculty Academy web site for more info on submitting a proposal or registering to attend. Hope to see you on May 16th and 17th!
