Your monthly source for learning opportunities, tech updates and lesson ideas.
Who helps with what?
If you have an issue with classroom technology, your first course of action is to find a labbie in the Resource Center - they are in the lower level of the RC at the Tech Help desk. Next, you can email Natalie. If you are unable to find either of those, please seek Cade for help.
Heather is available to help with in-class training and assisting students with technical projects. She has hours at the JBar that are posted on the menu board and change each week as well as appointments.
