workshop. Directions and system requirements will be provided upon registration.

your own groups; search groups in your discipline; share information and create collaborative
documents; and research with peers around the country and world.

with an internet connection. Participants will learn to create and administer Wikis.
Flipcams in the Classroom
These “super” handy-cams come at an affordable price and are the size of a cell phone.
With only a few buttons to operate, they come with easy to use editing software for

this new generation of user-friendly video camera, and experience how its use in the
classroom can promote engaged and meaningful learning for students.
Podcasting and iTunes University
Faculty will learn how to record lectures and other content via a sound recorder, how to
upload files onto a computer, and how to edit sound to suit their needs. Adelphi’s iTunes
University is used to distribute the created media files.
