The division of teaching and learning technologies is inviting everyone to attend this year’s Faculty Academy. Every year we host this conference to showcase the innovative and creative work that UMW faculty are doing with technology in the classroom.
The conference will be held on May 11 and 12 in the North Building of the Stafford Campus. This year, the event will begin with a keynote address by Michael Wesch, assistant professor of anthropology at Kansas State University. Dr. Wesch has become well-known for his work with digital ethnography, investigating the ways in which digital technologies are impacting our culture, particularly our schools. The conference will also showcase presentations by Tom Woodward, director of instructional technology at Henrico County Public Schools, and Amanda French, THATCamp Coordinator with the Center for History and New Media.
