Planning use of Educational Technology in your course with Design Thinking

Design Thinking is a powerful methodology that can help you plan use of educational technology in your course. It combines creative and analytical approaches and requires collaboration across disciplines or functions. It draws on problem-solving methods and ideas from engineering, design, the arts, the social sciences, and the business world. Join Nil Santana, Assistant Professor and Director of ACU Maker Lab for a deep dive into how you can use key Design Thinking techniques to solve challenges and implement educational technology in your courses.

Mobile Photography | Tech Tune-Up

Today, we talked about several things:

  • How many photos have been taken with mobile devices
  • Are the images I capture with my mobile device truly special
  • Do I understand the mechanisms taking place when I capture an image
  • Is the mobile device I use to take images good enough for every situation
  • Do I understand how to go about changing my settings and environment for the best image possible

Yeah, it was a lot of content to cover, but we hope you were able to glean some valuable information as a result. We have provided a PDF for you to go through the presentation if you like, below:
