A New Academic Year Begins With "Teaching With Technology" Faculty Workshop

I absolutely love this time of year! After a summer of catch-up, investigating new technologies for teaching, and attending professional development conferences, I am anxious to connect with new and returning faculty!

One way that I have been able to set things off for the new academic year at UMM, is to hold a faculty Teaching With Technology workshop the very first week that faculty report to work for Fall Semester.

Here is the flyer for the August 18th Teaching With Technology Workshop:
