TechKnow is a monthly series of presentations on educational technology topics.

In 2008-2009, we covered collaborative writing, Second Life, Echo 360, creative classroom uses of Moodle, and gaming in education.

In 2009-2010, we covered Smartphones, Lecture Capture, Smartboards, and group project work in Moodle. We had a good turn out for each and we were pleased to field faculty member's questions on these topics and a lot more.

ETS offers these talks during the noon hour. The start time, 12:15, is very comfortable. There is time to arrive, time to chat, time to get lunch or help yourself to snacks and drinks that are always provided. Topic suggestions welcome at agabriel@smith.edu.
