February 2011 SLATE Meeting - Revised Location

Please note - change in room location

Its been awhile since we have gotten together, but this is a reminder that our next monthly SLATE meeting will be on Wednesday, February 16th beginning @ 9:50am and hosted by Robert Morris University. We will be meeting at the Downtown Campus, which is located at 401 S. State Street, room 303 (take the north elevator (closest to Van Buren) to the third floor).

So that Robert Morris can prepare for our visit, it is very important that you RSVP back to me no later than noon Monday, February 14 with the names of those who will be attending from your institution. Additional information on parking, directions, etc. is at the end of this message.

Main Agenda – The iPad/Touch your stories from the classroom

Who is using the iPad or iPod Touch in innovative or interesting ways in their teaching and learning. We will be looking to those schools who have some sort of programs on their campus - maybe you give iPads to all incoming freshman - what are the expectations or desired results that you are looking for. Also, what interesting apps are there that you have found useful, informative, interesting and do you pass along a "favorites" list to your students, etc.

Anyone willing to add their "two-cents" to this open discussion please let me know.
