This summer was an exciting time in the College of Education Technology Center. In July we received Student Technology Fee funds to upgrade several spaces. Here is the short list of some of our improvements:
-

-
- Installation of a 5 person collaboration station
- 11 new iMac computers
- Installation of an interactive projector and whiteboard in 424
- Additional equipment added to our student checkout pool

We hosted three weeks of technology camps for youth. These programs were affiliated with the Robinson Center for Young Scholars and focused on providing technology enrichment opportunities for adolescents.
In July, I had the opportunity to be a panelist during a week-long Education Design Lab for our recent ELTEP graduates. Hosted by the INSPIRE project this was the first Education Design Lab for Seattle area teachers. During the workshop, teachers co-designed, tested, and refined learning experiences that use technology in a purposeful way.
In August, I met with many of our TEP coaches to introduce the recently adopted teacher candidate technology outcomes and discussed strategies for working with our teaching candidates around technology in the classroom.
This fall is shaping up to be a great one with lots of activity on several fronts. Here are a few upcoming projects:
- Continued work integrating TEP Technology Outcomes in our course work
- Formation of a College-wide Data Security Risk Management Team
- Develop a strategic plan for our various web-based college resources
- Work with the Faculty Technology Task Force to develop a strategic plan
- Teaching and Learning with Technology Showcase featuring CoE Faculty
