MCC TaLDA Workshop: May 7-11, 2012

The MCC TaLDA Workshop is a week-long immersion in Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age for College faculty from all disciplines. This workshop is modeled after the MCC Math & Technology Workshop, which MCC has hosted for four years now. Over time, this workshop has been dubbed "Technology Bootcamp" by its participants. Participants come from all over the country to get an "upgrade" to their technology skills as they relate to teachinging and learning in the college setting.

See TaLDA website for more information.
