Limited Capacity seats available
How can community college faculty, staff, and students make the best use of technology? When selected and used thoughtfully, digital tools can help foster connection and engagement among community college students—whether in the classroom or beyond it. Students are more connected than ever, with smartphones in nearly every pocket, and there are many tools to help instructors to create engaging, pedagogically sound lessons and instruction. Digital platforms can also foster a sense of community and connection among students who may have limited time with their peers outside of class. At the same time, reliable internet/computer access can be limited, and may not be sufficient for fully engaging in course websites or assignments. Moreover, an overreliance on digital tools may become alienating.

This session uses brief presentations, conversation-style discussion, and audience participation to discuss the ways that technology can be used in support of the access-oriented missions of community colleges. Topics will range from big-picture considerations to specific technological tools that can build community, enhance classroom discussions, and facilitate culturally responsive pedagogy.
