Registration is encouraged but not required 

Faculty Show and Share  is a new  informal discussion series in the Center for Educational Technology.  Each session will feature a guest faculty member who shows how they've used a particular technology to address a learning goal.  Minimal preparation is required because you just have to show, share, and discuss what you've done.   Any instructor is encouraged to attend whether or not they are experienced with technology or not. There will be ample time for discussion of the teaching goals and/or the technology. All sessions will happen in the CET in Job 102.
