Nurse Educators are being challenged to adapt their teaching styles in order to meet the needs of the new generation of learners. The students entering higher education will have grown up using technology in and out of the classroom. This workshop will provide learning focused on using technology and instructional methods to enhance student engagement and learning in and out of the classroom. Significant time will be allotted to demonstrate and practice using the latest educational technologies, which include: web-based resources, desktop resources, and online applications. Participants are encouraged to bring their own devices. The focus will be on practical knowledge and hands-on experience. Participants will leave with the knowledge to apply at least one new technology skill to their work setting; discuss ways that educational technology can support instruction and student learning; and demonstrate leadership by modeling use of educational technology.

Participants should bring a smart phone, iPad, and/or laptop to this workshop.

Objectives:

• Describe the use of emerging technologies that engage student learning.
• Discuss the benefits and challenges of integrating technology into learning.
