TEACHING THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Making Chalkboards Obsolete

 
Suffolk University Law School is pleased to announce that it will be hosting this year’s regional conference of the New England Consortium of Legal Writing Teachers (NECLWT) on Monday, December 1, 2008.  The conference will be held at Suffolk Law School, located at 120 Tremont Street in the heart of downtown Boston.

The focus of the conference is “Teaching Through Technology.”  The morning program will feature three interactive presentations exploring innovative methods for teaching legal writing and research through the use of Wikis, Clickers, and Podcasts.  What makes this conference unique is that each presentation will not only offer the perspective of legal writing and research professors who have incorporated these methods into their classroom, but it will also provide attendees with hands-on tutorials on using the various forms of technology.

The three presentations will be followed by a luncheon featuring Professor Andrew Beckerman-Rodau.  Professor Beckerman-Rodau is a Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Intellectual Property Law Concentration at Suffolk University Law School.  He has been at the forefront of the movement to incorporate technology in teaching.  Professor Beckerman-Rodau’s talk will focus on “The Pedagogy of Teaching Through Technology.”

The registration deadline is Friday, November 17, 2008.  Please direct questions about the conference to Sabrina DeFabritiis, via email: sdefabritiis@suffolk.edu
