...The seminar, "Get Writing: Using Blogs to Develop Students' Voices," was held in Feinstein 304 at 4:00 p.m. and was led by Siobhan Ross.

Ross is the coordinator of the Instructional Technology Development Program at PC. ITDP was created to aid faculty in integrating technology into coursework.

...Haberle said a few professors have begun saving their lectures as podcasts, and others are incorporating a personal response system into the classrooms. The personal response system involves giving students transmitters which they use to input answers to questions the professor gives in class.
