Here's your opportunity to investigate several teaching tools that St. John's provides to all faculty--just in time for the beginning of the new semester.  These tools can aid you in engaging students, in communicating with them, and in supporting their learning.  Try them out and see which ones are right for you.

Breakfast
8:30am to 9:00 am

Panopto
9:00-10:00 am
Panopto allows you to produce videos either before class or during a class.  The latter feature is particularly useful if you are teaching in one of the enhanced technology classrooms on the Queens campus.

WebEx
10:00-11:00 am
WebEx makes it easy to have meetings with students and colleagues, either one-on-one or in groups.  

Office 365
11:00 am-noon
Office 365 allows online access to Microsoft Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel as well as storage in the cloud and the ability to collaborate on documents.  

Lunch with Tools Overview: Poll Everywhere; VoiceThread; Prezi
noon-1:00 pm
During lunch, there will be demonstrations of tools that provide ways to promote class participation (Poll Everywhere), communicate with students (VoiceThread), and create engaging presentations (Prezi).
