Wiki While You Work: Incorporating Wikis in the Classroom
Professor Samantha A. Moppett
Technology can be an effective teaching tool, yet many of us struggle to find new ways to incorporate technology in the classroom. This workshop will introduce the use of wikis as a collaborative learning tool. Specifically, the workshop will address what a wiki is, discuss how wikis can be incorporated into the legal research and writing curriculum, and demonstrate how to set up a wiki using Zoho Wiki, a free hosted wiki service. |

The Pedagogy of Teaching Through Technology
Professor Andrew Beckerman-Rodau
Why use technology? Technology should not be used as a substitute for teaching. Rather, technology is a tool which should serve to achieve pedagogical goals. As we take advantage of the teaching opportunities, which the use of technology brings to the classroom, we must equally consider and remedy any shortcomings that might result in teaching through technology. |
