All members of the Truman community are invited to the Tech Fair, which will take place from 2-4 p.m., Feb. 15, in the Student Union Building Activities Room. The purpose of the event is to provide insight on ways of integrating technology into the teaching and learning process.
Submissions to the TruTech Challenge will be on display at the Fair along with some of the newest technology-based resources available from Pickler Memorial Library.
Visitors can see and learn about a range of topics including:
This year, the latter portion of the TruTech Fair will be held in conjunction with the University Conference’s social hour, during which refreshments will be served.
The two grand prize Dell PDAs will also be awarded to the winners of the TruTech Challenge in a ceremony at about 3 p.m.
