Technology Updates

Our technology specialists have been very busy insuring that the SOE continues to be a leader on campus in its uses of instructional and communicative technologies. For example, Jo Wottowa has created a FaceBook page for the School of Education, located at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Edwardsville-IL/SIUE-School-of-Education/59354275854. One of the purposes of our FaceBook page will be to encourage social networking with those who are interested in the activities of our School. We can also use this medium to share current news and/or announcements with this broader audience. In addition, Binod Bokhrel recently attended Cestron Training, which covered the installation, testing, troubleshooting, and programming of Cestron Control systems (i.e., the podium controls). With this training, Binod

will save the SOE approximately $3,000 each time that our podiums need to be reprogrammed! Binod has also shared his expertise in the use of response clickers at a workshop conducted with Vicki Scott.
