School of Education looks to utilize technologyInitiatives to use video conferencing, internet in teaching
By Kurt Esposito The School of Education is looking into new ways to utilize the use of technology, such as video conferencing and laptop computer labs with wireless internet connections, in the teaching process. "We wanted to encourage, in anyway, faculty to use technology in interesting ways," said Richard Lesh. associated dean of the School of Education. Bob Evans, coordinator of technical services for the School of Education, said too many graduates of the school do not have the technology skills necessary when looking for a career. He said the initiatives will better prepare students when they graduate. Lesh said the new technology will be utilized not only by the School of Education but the other academic schools as well. He said some of the new initiatives being set up are video conferencing classrooms, a new computer lab and a new mobile cart with 30 wireless lap top computers. Unusually cold weather upsets local residentsEven though it is almost summer, Indiana has experienced low temperatures and a lot of rain, which is more common to the late winter months. "I can’t believe it's June, its way too cold," said Sarah Kalvelage, a senior in the School of Liberal Arts. "It just makes it difficult to walk in the rain back and forth between each class." Phil Smith, professor of atmospheric science, said, "It’s not completely unprecedented; it is unusual." |
