Fall 2014 Sandbox Times
Sandbox times will be held in WALS each week at 11:30 am - 12:30 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays throughout the Fall term. In the first 20 minutes, members of the TSC, ITRC, or a special guest will lead a workshop on the topic of the week. Participants can then spend the remainder of the time exploring ways to use the space and technology actively in their teaching. Bring your own device to “plug in” to Air Media with your own Mac or PC laptop, smartphone, or tablet.
