CESR Presents at COLTT Conference

The 15th Colorado Learning and Teaching with Technology (COLTT) Conference was held in early August and offered the latest innovations and current research in learning and teaching with technology. Two CESR instructors, Liz Stapp and Lorna Christoff, presented the top three technological tools for educators, students and both in a session called “Wikis, Blogs, and Facebook, Oh My!”

“We wanted to take the numerous apps and tech tools available, test drive them, and report on the most user-friendly and helpful of the bunch for the tech-averse professor,” says Liz. “The more efficient we can make our jobs, the more time we have to spend meeting with students and improving our curriculum.”

Co-presenter Lorna noted that “as our students become more and more used to utilizing technology in every facet of their lives, it is irresponsible of us as educators to refuse to acknowledge changes in their learning styles because of it. Despite it being scary, implementation of technology in the classroom can make the instructors’ job far simpler, easier, and more effective.”
