Students at 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 are experimenting with a truly unusual approach to their class discussion of Moby-Dick: Theyre doing it without the discussion. Or the book. The group of five students are the first to test out a new mobile app with far-reaching implications for the classroom one that will be publicly unveiled on April 15, 2011, at 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s Imagination Summit, an event aimed at exploring the role of technology in higher education.
The app which allows users to read books on their mobile device and share comments with fellow readers as they go opens the door for students to discuss what theyre reading anytime of day and anywhere in the world.
Real education is part of a great conversation older than the West, but technology and is a chance to make the conversation better by increasing the avenues of communication, said John Mark Reynolds, director of 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s Torrey Honors Institute great books program, which is testing the app.
The best technology makes you forget it is there as it lets you do what you could not do before it was invented and may do that for Socratic education.
晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023s second annual Imagination Summit comes as institutions nationwide are evaluating the use of technology and pushing faculty to use technology in the classroom, often with a response from professors of How? The summit, themed Reach Beyond, will look at how educators can use technology to connect and inspire their students being one of those ways.
The application enlivens a book and goes beyond the physical textbook, says founder, Jason Illian, former CEO of tangle.com.
晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 is at the cutting edge of what is possible, said Illian. I want universities to embrace this []. I have a new level of respect for 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 for their willingness to take a leap of faith.
晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 seeks to offer resources and equip professors with new tools for the world-wide classroom developing educators with the understanding of how to enhance students learning experience with technology. Summit speakers, including Illian, will present on the opportunities technology offers educators and leaders to reach local and global communities in education and beyond. Keynote speaker Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A, will share on the use of technology in business and how to leverage social media to connect with customers.
