New Series: ID Corner Tech Bites

Today I am inviting you to a new series coming over the Fall term, called, “Tech Bites.” These will be short, 10-minute-ish demonstrations of a tech tool followed by a brief opportunity for Q&A.

The sessions will be recorded live and then posted for everyone. You’ll be able to listen to these sessions on the ID Corner podcast, and view on YouTube.

The current plan is to release three “Tech Bites” episodes over the term every two weeks, beginning Tuesday, September 20, 12:20-12:30 p.m. The idea behind these is that you can just tune in while you grab a snack or lunch.

Zoom links will be posted on our Instructional Technology SharePoint site.

Look forward to seeing you there!
