DESCRIPTION
Presented by Betha Whitlow at the Annual Conference of the Visual Resources Association, April 18th - April 21st, 2012, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Session: Engaging New Technologies While the seemingly exponential array of new technologies offers the potential to enhance the services we provide, simply keeping up with what is available (or on the horizon) is a daunting process. This fast-paced session will demonstrate a rich variety of new technologies, emphasizing concrete examples that show engagement in professional contexts. Utilizing the expertise of energetic, tech-savvy presenters, this session will introduce new tools as well as creative uses of more established technologies, demystifying them to empower session attendees to further investigate on their own. Emphasis will be given to technologies that can be readily utilized in teaching, learning, and research environments. CO-ORGANIZERS: Betha Whitlow, Washington University in St. Louis Meghan Musolff, University of Michigan MODERATOR: Betha Whitlow, Washington University in St. Louis PRESENTERS 1: Carolyn Caizzi, Yale University 2: Meghan Musolff, University of Michigan 3: John Trendler, Scripps College 4: Betha Whitlow, Washington University in Saint Louis For more links: http://www.diigo.com/user/Engagingtech
