TA and Professor Tag-Team

Are you hovering on the TA-technology divide? Perhaps the next time you're in the classroom, a professor will have the main floor and you'll lead a discussion group (or some other version of power-sharing). We'd love to hear how you use technology to develop your role in the classroom.

Picture it: GSSW 2008.
You and the professor you work with present at the Faculty Panel on the last day of the workshop. You discuss how you decided to use blogs to help you develop your rapport with students. Or how you created a few special lectures using PowerPoint. Or how you moderated the Telesis Discussion board. Or something.

Wouldn't that be wonderful? Both for you and the 2008 workshoppers...

Also, talking about it in a workshop setting might help some of the professors who are a little scared of technology still (or don't see how it can be applied to their class).
