Welcome to the Emerging Technologies to improve T&L in Higher Education blog!

This blog will serve as a communication, collaboration and information platform for the 2012 CHEC course: Emerging Technologies in Higher Education. Since this year the course title changed from ICTs to Emerging Technologies, we decided to make use of the wide range of applications Google offers and are going to run this course using a Blogger blog, Google docs, Google + and Google forms...and some more Web2.0 applications such as Twitter, soundcloud, Wordle to name a few...

The course blog will be used to post weekly course information, resources and participants' weekly reflections.

We are looking forward to this year's group!

The course team

    One of your tasks is to comment on a blog post. This is your chance! Simply write something meaningful or fun :) in the Post a Comment white box, then select Google account (you should see your name if you are logged into any Google site like Gmail) in the drop-down menu next to Comment as: and then click on Publish. Success!

    Hey Team

    I'm very interested to see what new technologies you will be presenting to us and learning how to incorporate them in the classroom.

    I loved the insight into the common issues we face as teachers today, but also how we each have an individual focus or outcome of this course in terms of our challenges

    An interesting little video about visual learning in maths!

    Relevance for our students?

    Now that I have finished MY homework task, I can start marking my students work. The task I was set was an awesomely clever exercise on the part of the course convenors. There were a very clear set of things that had to be done. I was forced to use the skills associated with one tool to find out more about another, learning about and becoming familiar with both in the process, and finding I was enjoying myself doing it. An inspired task! As a direct result of the task I found myself taking the daring step of embedding a youtube video on my facebook page. But now I must turn to marking those 2nd year assignments.
