Ithaca College

Please join us Monday, September 25 from 8:30-9:30 am for The Device Debate: Student Use of Technology in the Classroom, a breakfast discussion in the Center for Faculty Excellence, 316 Gannett.

Are you challenged by what to do with student use of laptops and cellphones in the classroom? Have you decided to ban all devices as a way to manage this challenge?  Do you enact practices and have policies that work for you and your students?  There are no easy answers to these questions.  

Join us for breakfast and a lively discussion with your colleagues about this important topic. You are welcome to bring your syllabi statements regarding classroom digital etiquette and other ideas to meet all the learning needs of students and develop equitable and accessible classroom policy regarding student use of technology in the classroom. Here is a recent article from The Chronicle as a starting point for the discussion.  

Hosted by Julia Lapp (Health Promotion and Physical Education) and Julie Dorsey (Occupational Therapy) in collaboration with the Center for Faculty Excellence.  

Please RSVP by Thursday September 21. Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Kate Castle at kcastle1@ithaca.edu or (607) 274-3734. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.
