Michigan Global Connections: Get Connected, technologies that enhance learning and connection at U-M
November 11, 2014 - 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM ET
MGC is an opportunity for U.S. and international students to think creatively and share their respective cultures collaboratively by preparing and delivering informal presentations. Participating in MGC will help students increase their understanding of multiple world views, become more conscious of the impact of culture in everyday life, and improve their communication and presentation skills.
This Brown Bag workshop (meaning you can bring your lunch to the workshop) will examine technologies that connect students to the University of Michigan and each other. We will look at technologies used at U-M (e.g. CTools, Mbox, Wolverine Access) and social technologies that help build cultural understanding and friendship (e.g. DuoLingo, MOOCs, Facebook, Down to Chill). This will be an interactive session, so please bring a digital device if available. Light refreshments will be served.
