Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology

Ritzko and Maxwell:
Student teams interviewed key campus personnel by various means including audio, e-mail, polycom, face-to-face, and text chat. Students learned to use more formal, professional communication. They presented what they learned in a PowerPoint. She gave little PPT guidance, so they varied in effectiveness. May provide more guidance in the future. She gave one grade to each team; because it was obvious some team members didn't do much work, she will also rethink that grading policy. She would like to include more peer evaluations in the future.

Striedieck:
Used a wiki as a teaching/learning tool for the first time. She assumed students would be very familiar with wikis, but they were not. Used PBwiki (easy as making a PBJ sandwich.) Pairs of students served as wiki patrol for a particular week, not just description but interpretation and reflection.
