The 18th Annual Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium, held on May 1, was the largest symposium held at GVSU with over 160 attendees, a keynote by Provost Cimitile, recognition of the Julia VanderMolen who received the Pew FTLC Teaching with Technology Award, 5 Technology Test Kitchen “recipes”, and 25 ePoster sessions.
Held on Wednesday, May 2, 2018, this event brought together more than 120 faculty, staff, and students from GVSU, including guests from Cornerstone University, Davenport University, Western Michigan University, and Grand Rapids Community College.
Put simply, this event was all about celebrating faculty innovation at the intersection of teaching, learning, and technology!
For 17 years, the Teaching & Learning with Technology Symposium has provided an outstanding opportunity for faculty to showcase how they’re putting technology to use in their teaching to support student success and retention.
This year, in addition to ePosters, a brand new “Technology Test Kitchen” was offered, full of tasty #edtech recipes.
