Carly Born graduated from the Monterey Institute of International Studies with a M.A. in Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language, a Certificate in Language Program Administration and a specialization in CALL. She is currently the Academic Computing Coordinator for Foreign Languages at Carleton College. In this role, she is responsible for providing both technical support and curricular development support to the language and literature faculty as it relates to technology.
If you had any technology you could think of at your fingertips, would you really use it? How would it impact your teaching? How would it impact the way your students learn? What is the price for having so much technology at your fingertips, both financially and pedagogically?
Carleton College, with funding from a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation, built a new building to house its language faculty, state-of-the-art technology classrooms and Language Center. This presentation by IT support staff and language faculty will discuss the design and planning process that involved language faculty, IT staff and students, and the impact it has had on the faculty and students who have been using it for 2 years since its opening. We will feature faculty reflections on how using the new classrooms has changed (or not changed) their teaching, and whether or not that change has been for the good. We will also discuss the IT support model used at Carleton that has been instrumental in the success of this project.
