Event: Engaging Students Through Technology Symposium Year: 2010 Summary: Carol Muller, Professor of Music, School of Arts and Sciences, discusses student use of Google products (Maps, YouTube, Docs) and online networking tools to create interactive musical histories. Her West Philly Music website showcases student projects over several years. We live today in a state of 'continuous partial attention'. Instant access to people and information can both engage and distract us. New tools break down classroom boundaries and change the nature of college education. The 2010 symposium explores the creative ways faculty are integrating technologies into teaching, the challenges they face, and the disruptive nature of mobile technologies in lecture contexts.
