Held biennially, the Kawartha Teaching and Technology Conference brings together faculty, students, educational developers, IT professionals and administrative staff where participants can network, share needs and ideas, and jointly discover opportunities, solutions and new approaches applicable to today’s teaching and learning environment.
This year's conference theme is:
Not all those who wander are lost: designing learning adventures through teaching & tech
How do we engage students by design? What does it mean to design learning adventures through teaching and technology? An adventure can imply a journey of unknown outcome which may involve both risk and growth. How can we apply this mindset to making the best use of technology to support student learning, provide greater access to education, and model more inclusive practices which promote engagement in learning experiences? This conference aims to unpack the relationship between pedagogy and technology in supporting all learners, how the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can be activated to engage students, how experiential learning outcomes can be harnessed, and how offbeat, fun, or surprising approaches to technology and pedagogy can impact student learning. Come and help us explore.
The conference will be offered hyflex (some sessions offered simultaneously in-person and online) and will be free to all participants.
This conference is open to all educators, faculty, students, administrative staff members, and IT professionals working in the Kawarthas and beyond.
Join us at Trent University as we seek to understand and shape the future of teaching and learning leveraging technology; incorporating its benefits while remaining mindful of its challenges.
