Attendee Guide

Thank you for registering for the Tech4teach Fair: Enhancing Student Engagement & Learning.

We have a FULL CAPACITY event & we are excited to engage so many technologically & pedagogically curious attendees!

 

To maximize what you enjoy at the T4T Fair & to assist with smooth transitions, please review the following:

 

  • The goal of the T4T Fair is to:

    • Initiate conversations, ideas, curiosity & collaboration to continue beyond the Fair

 

  • Fairs are designed to be intense, energetic, engaging & to provide short informative experiences to stimulate subsequent engagement & learning with peers/colleague

  • Research strongly suggests that significant change in Higher Education occurs from either peer to peer collaboration & the establishment of communities of practice. We hope the Fair can initiate both?!
