Why Technology...Why Engage? "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I Learn."  ~ Benjamin Franklin "The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see." ~ Alexandra K. Trenfor "If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn." ~ Benjamin Franklin "If we teach today's students as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow." ~ John Dewey

At NWTC, our full‐time instructors have the opportunity to participate in  Teaching Methods 2.0, a teaching reflection course. During one of the  first activities, we ask our instructors, "What is one student concern you  have and would like to address during this course?" What do you think the majority of our instructors identify as a student  concern, and why did you pick that concern?

Wait.....don't put your technology away yet!
