FAQ on the BCC Summer Institute, May 20-21

Q. Is it all about technology?

A. It’s all about learning outside the classroom: first day focus is service learning, field trips, study abroad, experiential learning — pretty low-tech! Day 2 will focus on web 2.0 technologies in the context of supporting student learning

Q. Can I come to just Day 2?

A. The two-day program actually is a complete experience. Email me if you have questions; it may be possible.

Q. Day 2 might be way beyond my level…

A. We have a guest speaker who will put the technology in a classroom context: doable and potentially time-saving. The workshops will be focus on 1-3 easy things you can do to incorporate the tech in a pedagogically sound way. 

Q. Will there be outside presenters?

A. We will have presenters from HCC, GCC, HVCC, Boston College, and UMass Amherst. We will also have presentations from our own faculty and staff.
