March 2, 2020 | 3:00pm – 4:30 pm in the Genrich-Rusling Room (LeChase 215)
At a LiDA Session last year, we were introduced to an OER project involving several UR
faculty and librarians. Come to get an update on this project and continue the conversation
initiated at that time about the potential and challenges of OER for teaching.
All events are highly interactive, and include time set aside for small group conversations.
All events will be held 3-4:30 pm in the Genrich-Rusling Room (LeChase 215).
There are only 3 weeks left to submit your proposal for the Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium held in partnership with Ithaca College’s Educational Technology Day on Thursday, March 19, 2020. Additional information about presenting at Ed Tech Day 2020 can be found on the Finger Lakes Faculty Development website https://sites.google.com/view/flfdn/home
About the Symposium
The symposium is organized by the Finger Lakes Faculty Development Network (FLFDN) as a part of Ithaca College’s Annual Educational Technology Day. The sessions will present innovative uses of both established and new technologies for teaching and learning. In addition, we seek submissions that focus on best practices in the use of technologies and pedagogies, as well as scholarship that assesses the impact of technology on student learning. Anyone may submit a proposal for a symposium session. Please visit the FLFDN Call for Proposals document to review the call for proposal guidelines.

What are the benefits and challenges of giving ALL students in a program their own iPad?

All events are highly interactive, and include time set aside for small group conversations.
All events will be held 3-4:30 pm in the Genrich-Rusling Room (LeChase 215).

Given current and forthcoming transformative applications of AI in the workplace, K-12 schools are coming to appreciate the need to introduce all students to AI before they go to college – yet there are many challenges to be overcome before AI becomes part of the K-12 curriculum. Building on the combined expertise of UR faculty in computer science and education, this session will provide the foundations for a discussion engaging the audience on what key AI concepts should be taught and learned in high school; whether this content should be part of the computer science, mathematics, or science curriculum; and, how AI could be made more accessible to students with limited math and computational backgrounds. The session will also encourage a conversation about how learning about AI in high school may promote students learning in STEM – as well as other subjects.

The growth of online education and MOOCs led to dire predictions for traditional higher education institutions. These prediction have not been realized – yet! Why? How are research universities in particular responding to the threats and opportunities presented by potentially disruptive technologies?
This half-day, free workshop, offered by the K-12 Digital Consortium, has been designed primarily as a way to develop a common vision and begin the networking process for districts interested in joining the Consortium. If you have any questions about your team composition or the workshop, please contact K12digital.org.

[LiDA Colloquium Series] How Are Digital Technologies Redefining the Goals of K-16 Education?
November 21, 2019 | 3:00pm – 4:30 pm in the Genrich-Rusling Room (LeChase 215)
Advances in technologies are continuously changing the job opportunities available to our current students, and have also impacted the knowledge, skills and mindsets our students need to be successful in this ever-changing environment, where access to information and data is easy and fast. Are we preparing our K-16 students adequately to this reality? What preparation do they really need in order to be successful?
Several K12 School Districts in the Rochester region have successfully implemented and/or are developing / exploring Student Help Desks as a way of extending and expanding support for 1:1 initiatives, personalized learning, digital conversion, and digitally rich teaching.
Join us for this featured Webinar to examine and learn from the experiences and journeys of the Webster and Brighton Central School Districts as they developed and implemented their Student Help Desks in their Districts.
February 6, 2020 | 3:00pm – 4:30 pm in the Genrich-Rusling Room (LeChase 215)
Several researchers across the University of Rochester are exploring complementary ways of
leveraging AI to support learning. A selection of these projects will be presented – and then
all educators in the audience will be asked to comment on the potential of these applications.
All events are highly interactive, and include time set aside for small group conversations.
All events will be held 3-4:30 pm in the Genrich-Rusling Room (LeChase 215).
