Sparking Innovation in the Classroom: How to Introduce Faculty to Instructional Technology

Before the 2017-2018 school year, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law held TEaCH LAW, a day-long conference and fair for faculty to share positive experiences about incorporating technology in the classroom. TEaCH LAW has grown and is now an ongoing series of demonstrations and extensive website resource for faculty to learn about new instructional technology tools from their peers. This CALIcon session will discuss the key elements to beginning a successful and ongoing initiative that encourages law faculty to explore the benefits of different instructional technology tools, from involving key stakeholders across the law school, ensuring variety of platforms, engaging presentations, and peer involvement. You do not need any previous knowledge about instructional technology to attend. Faculty, staff, and administrators are all welcome.
