welcome
Welcome to Collaboration Technology Summit 2010.
Case Western Reserve University is excited to present its third annual Collaboration Technology Summit, which will once again explore the application of technologies to teaching, learning, and creative expression. This year's program focuses on innovative education, international collaboration, and learning. Faculty pioneers coming from a wide range of academic disciplines and pedagogical orientations will share their experiences.
This year CollabTech will feature three panels spanning topics of high speed residential internet, redesigning education for the 21st century, and international educational experiences each addressing the importance of collaboration.
The underlying theme of collaboration exists across all breakout sessions bridging technologies with educational pedagogy. Sessions include multicultural gaming, language and international learning, global health and bioethics, as well as, focused educational design.
Our luncheon keynote, Howard Rheingold, writer, thinker, and educator teaches Digital Journalism at Stanford and Virtual Community/Social Media at UC Berkeley. Rheingold is well know for his books Tools for Thought, Virtual Reality, The Virtual Community and Smart Mobs. In 2008 he won MacArthur Foundation’s Digital Media and Learning competition and designed the Social Media Classroom and Collaboratory.
I am very pleased that you are able to join us at Case Western Reserve University for CollabTech 2010.
We look forward to your feedback.
