Today I stood at the head of a classroom, presenting information about NOVA’s Technology Applications Center to new adjuncts.  This was a change of pace for me after teaching only online classes for the past academic year.  I actually had to get dressed and leave the house to meet my class!

This fall I’ll be teaching 3 hybrid sections of Composition I (ENG 111), and I’m also the new Annandale campus Technology Applications Center (TAC) mentor, which means I’ll be working with faculty and staff on technology training.  I’m excited about this new development because it means I’ll be working with faculty from all disciplines, not just English, and I’m always excited to help my colleagues, since collaboration often leads to new inspiration in my own courses.

I’m also getting ready to present at a technology teaching conference in October.  I’ll be talking about mobile apps similarly to the sessions I gave at the VA Blackboard Users Conference at George Masson University last fall and the Power Up Your Pedagogy Conference (PUP) at NOVA last winter.  The big difference is going to be location: this time I’m flying to Atlanta!

What a lot of running around this year will be.
