Visit Us at Two Upcoming Conferences

The Educational Technology Programs will be represented at two upcoming conferences in Michigan in March.  The first conference is the 2009 Michigan Science Teachers Association Conference which is being held at the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center from March 5-7.  Come visit us at booth H.

The MACUL Conference 2009 is being held at Cobo Hall from March 18-20. This is a great conference for educators to learn more about technology and how it can be applied in the classroom. They have hands on workshops as well as presentations conducted by other educators and educational vendors. Several of our instructors (Carolyn McCarthy-Research Based Classroom Formative Assessments; Michael Partridge-Joomia! Free Content Management for Schools) will be presenting in pre-conference workshops on Wednesday March 18^th, as well as doing information sessions on Thursday and Friday (Tammy Maginity -We’re Just Moodlin’ Along; Michael Partridge- Bringing Technology to Your Theater Arts Program; Eric Spicer- Explore, Engage, Empower: Using Interactive Tools in Your Classroom) Additionally, a number of teachers that graduated from our program will also be presenting in different sessions.

The Educational Technology Certificate Program, the Master’s in Educational Technology and the Confucius Institute will all be represented at booth #423 in the exhibitor hall. Come visit us and learn more about the certificate, endorsement and Master’s programs in Educational Technology. We’d be happy to provide a demonstration of our Certificate program classes.

Representatives from the Confucius Institute at MSU will also talk about their online materials developed with up-to-date technologies, such as podcasts; 3-D language learning environments (”Second Life”); and other multimedia learning materials that teach adult and K-12 students about Chinese language and culture.

We look forward to seeing you at either of these conferences!

-Carrie Albin, Outreach Coordinator and Co-Editor
