about the session
The presentation format allows Berkshire Conference participants in a Macintosh training lab at Scripps College to experience cutting-edge technology as they learn about best practices from remote colleagues 3000 miles away. Facilitated by Ellen Wagner in San Francisco, CA, this presentation was a Breeze Live (now Adobe Connect) online meeting with five participants. The remote presenters are Susan Kullmann, participating from the Berks Conference session in Claremont, CA; Christine Madsen, participating from Harvard University in Boston, MA; Kelly Schrum, joining from George Mason University in Fairfax, VA; and Nancy Parker, chairing the session from the Steele 5 Lab on the Scripps College campus in Claremont, CA. The presenters - and the presentation itself - demonstrate how to use technology in creative ways to enhance teaching and learning.
