Adjunct Appreciation Dinner at SC4

Posted on January 4, 2012 by barrydahl

I had the pleasure of presenting at the annual Adjunct Appreciation Dinner at St. Clair County Community College (SC4) in Port Huron, MI. This is both an appreciation dinner and a night of professional development for the adjunct instructors at the college.

My topic was Myths and Realities of Teaching with Technology. I’ll post the slides soon, but here are most of the links that I referred to during the address.

2) Infographic that says 90% of faculty are using social media in courses they’re teaching (which I don’t believe)
