Technology and Learning around the Country

Although examples of the technology tail wagging the pedagogical dog are a dime a dozen, there are places that seem to be doing a noteworthy job of building an infrastructure that supports the use of technology in innovative teaching.  The elements of such infrastructures include things like high quality training, ongoing colloquia series, two-way conversations between teachers and instructional technologists, institutional subscriptions to vetted products, release time for tooling up and content creation, and staff support for faculty teaching innovation.

A few examples that highlight various avenues:

• Technology for Teaching at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health   
• Technology for Education at the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation at Carnegie Mellon
• Teaching with Technology at Brown University
• Teaching with Technology Tuesdays at Yale's Collaborative Learning Center
