ATG's Tick-Tech-Talks

We called these seminars "Tick-Tech-Talks" because we want to introduce the technology (Tech-Talk), but we do not want to involve the overwhelming technical details (therefore, a "Tick").

In these Tick-Tech-Talks, we will demonstrate and showcase the possibilities of how the technology, as a tool, can be used in the classroom. We are not going into the technical details of "how-to". We hope these sessions will give you general ideas and a feel of what the technology can do for instruction, and will inspire your ideas of how you would like to apply that technology in your classes.

ATG Tick-Tech-Talks are open to all Wake Forest faculty members. The schedule is listed below. To register for any of these sessions, please fill out and submit the online registration form, or you can contact us directly (atg@wfu.edu, or ylwong@wfu.edu, x4717).
