Evelyn Christoph, technology committee representative for the Modern Languages department, has been testing out the "experimental" classroom this week with her French classes. The experiment involves trying out some new equipment now, since Phillips Hall is slated for a major renovation in Summer of 2009. It doesn't seem so, but that date is just around the corner and we need to get teacher/student input now to help inform choices of design and technology for the renovation.
This term, teachers will have access to plasma displays, projectors, TabletPCs, document cameras, and various room control systems.
Evelyn had what I described as an "Instructional Technology Moment" when she projected a drawing of a figure on the whiteboard and invited her students to come to the board and label the figure. The class came alive!
