The Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning at Columbia University

On Saturday, July 18, at SCUP–44, you have the opportunity to learn in this workshop titled The Evolving Library: Supporting New Pedagogies, Learning Preferences and Technologies. "How can technology and the physical environment complement teaching and learning? How can libraries weave together the academic and social components of learning? How is electronic media reshaping what physically defines a library? And how will the scope, vision, and implementation of a library project be shaped by our current economic realities?"

This is a good bookmark:

Educators who are interested in incorporating new technologies into their classroom experience often wonder where to start. They may want to start by visiting the Enhancing Education site, which is maintained by staff members at the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning at Columbia University. The site is organized a bit like a weblog, as there are different posts organized into subjects that include "Noted", "Solutions", and "Primers". The "Noted" postings highlight interesting technologies that may be of interest to educators, and the "Solutions" entries are composed of a quick "how-to" that addresses a broad range of technologies and approaches to classroom learning. Finally, the "Primers" posts cover the basic elements of a compelling new technology or idea, including incorporating a weblog into the class or peer editing. Visitors can also view the top ten tags on the site, or take a look at the most recent posts. [KMG]
