IT pedagogy: good or bad? Discuss among yourselves.

The Collin College Preston Ridge campus is slated to host faculty from across the state for week-long (Mon.-Fri., July 16-20) IT training and development sessions.

Participation is open to all college and high school instructors who are willing to pony up the $325 registration fee. Materials, lunch and snacks (Yay, snacks!) are also included.

Session topics will include:

· Convergence technology

· Ethical hacking

· Fundamentals and wireless

· Gaming programming

· Intermediate voice over IP

· Using social networking tools in the classroom

IT managers from leading Texas-based corporations will be present to offer some real-world perspective. Attending faculty will have the opportunity to share their own IT teaching techniques, and additional presentations will be made on IT pedagogy and emerging technologies.
