Mahalo to everyone who helped to make this year’s Tech It Out Day a success in this new format, too, synchronously online! It was so good to see everyone’s smiling faces and connect with you even at a distance. Tech It Out Day is always a fun way to kick off the new semester!
We had over 50 participants this year join us via Zoom and eight sessions of cool tools to support teaching and learning, and promoting interaction and engagement.
- iSee – How to Setup Your iOS Device as an Extra Camera in Zoom
- 5 Finishing Touches for Laulima Lessons to Enhance the Course Experience
- Create Interactive Tutorials with Iorad
- Interactive Online Learning Activities with H5P
- Screencasting with Loom
- Communicate with Impact: Create Engaging Animated Videos with Adobe Spark
- Using the New Google Sites
- Jammin’ with Jamboard
Mahalo also to our faculty who presented and shared their mana’o with us this year: Anika Gearheart, Junie Hayashi, Kelly Kennedy, Michael Cawdery, and Erin Thompson.
Participants Said…
“All of the sessions were incredibly helpful for my new online classes! I particularly liked Iorad to help “technology challenged” students access all of the tools in the course.”
“I will be using Loom to record my course and syllabus intro and hope to use it for more difficult assignments. Love Jamboard and will use it in my synchronous meetings with students.”
“I’m excited to use H5P in my Laulima Lessons.”
“Tech-it-out days are always engaging and useful to hear about new technologies and platforms. Great job on the first Zoom version of the workshops! It was well organized and easy to follow!”
