Springboard

SPRINGBOARD 2009 brought Mansfield University faculty together to discuss the changing digital landscape and its impact in teaching! Several hands-on opportunities were given to create Wikis, blogs, podcasts, and experiment with Skype. The keynote speaker was Dr. Scott McLeod who is the co-producer of the popular You Tube video "Did you KNOW?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Wu2kWwSY.

Several faculty members have shared their presentations. Click on the links provided at the right.

Selected comments made by participants include:

• "Scott McLeod's presentation was very informative ...great way to showcase an alternative platform (Adobe Connect)
• I really liked the interactive part of the wiki workshop...
• I have been to conferences presented by many different groups. You guys stack up with many conferences that people pay big bucks to attend. Very good experience.
• ... mind opening - wow!
