A couple of weeks ago (on March 28, 2008), as a part of the CCS Lunch & Learn series, we welcomed Tom Haffie as a guest speaker. On the surface, his talk was about clickers, but really it was about much more than the clicker technology. It was about changing the way we teach, the way we engage with students and the way we use technology to do things we couldn’t
do before.
It isn’t just about using new technology because it is new and cool. There needs to be a good reason!
If anyone missed Tom’s talk, now is the chance to find out what you missed.
If you’re interested in finding out when the next Lunch & Learns are happening (including special events, featuring guest speakers like Tom!), be sure to keep an eye on the CCS Events Page.
DON’T FORGET!! Next week we have an exciting Lunch & Learn, featuring Rhoda Weiss-Lambrou from University of Montreal.
DON’T MISS IT!

Join us for a lunch and learn on –
“Using Podcasts for Teaching and Learning: Lessons from the past and a look toward the future.”
We will have a guest speaker, Prof. Rhoda Weiss-Lambrou from University of Montreal, who launched and has done research on podcasting pedagogy. We are hoping to generate a lively discussion around this topic.
The event will be take place on Monday, November 12th from Noon to 2:00 PM in the ILLC Building. Registration is still open at http://www.ryerson.ca/dmp/events.
Just a quick post on some interesting work being done in our Ryerson community.
Dr.Isabel Pedersen, a professor in Professional communication, is doing research on wearable computers. Will computers evolve in such a way that they separate from the ‘machine’ technology we use today, and merge with the clothes that we wear?
