ETUG Spring 2010 Workshop

by admin on March 2, 2010

3 Cups of T: Teaching, Technology & Transformation
ETUG Spring 2010 Workshop
University of Victoria, Victoria, BC
June 7 & 8, 2010 (Monday & Tuesday)
Deadline for proposals: March 16th.

We welcome proposals from faculty, staff and students interested in presenting at the ETUG Spring 2010 Workshop. The theme this year is “3 Cups of T: Teaching, Technology & Transformation”. This alludes to the bestseller, “Three Cups of Tea” – an inspiring story of a brave, pioneering educator in a hostile situation who, against great odds, makes a big difference in the world. He did this in small increments, by working “failures” into successes, and by learning to really listen and consider stakeholders and their needs. The power of patience and building relationships in order to innovate and bring about change are themes we can relate to in our work in education and technology. Not to mention, our workshop is taking place in Victoria, BC (a high-tea hotspot). It will be a tea-riffic event!

We invite you to share your challenges and triumphs of teaching with technology and explore together our views on system trends and changes.

Expenses for Presenters at ETUG: BCcampus/ETUG will be pleased to cover the cost of registration for presenters at the workshop and the cost for travel and accommodation for BC-based presenters who live outside of the Greater Victoria area.
