iTeach Workshops

Each semester, the Language Center provides ongoing training to instructors in the pedagogical application of technology in language teaching through one-hour presentations and hands-on sessions called iTeach Workshops. We often collaborate with other departments on campus, including CARLA, ESL Forum, and invite instructors to share their experiences using technology in the classroom.

For more information on the latest iTeach Workshop schedule please go to our iTeach Workshop wiki. The wiki also includes video footage of previous presentations, as well as handouts and additional resources related to each workshop topic. U of M language instructors are invited to contribute to the wiki and share their experiences using technology in the second language classroom.
