Tech-it-Out!

Connect.  Share.  explore

Tech-it-Out! is your opportunity to learn about new technology with a vibrant community of practitioners. During this 45-minute Tech-it-Out!, participants will have the opportunity to choose from brief ten-minute awareness sessions for a quick overview of a technical topic. For the last thirty-five minutes of Tech-it-Out! we will have an open discussion and sharing of things that the group is already using, or that look interesting in educational technology.

Upon completing this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • develop an awareness of a technical topic and participate in a “free-form” technical community of practice discussion.

Tech-it-out! sessions occur on the last Friday of every month from 2:00-2:45 p.m.
