There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
The use of technology in teaching is the theme of the Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL) Atlanta Network fall meeting at Georgia Tech. Morning and afternoon sessions will focus on using technology in student projects, using technology in the interactive classroom and using technology to facilitate collaboration and creativity. One of the afternoon sessions will include a hands-on lab with technology implemented in a Georgia Tech Physics MOOC, “The World is Your Lab.” During lunch, participants may tour the G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons, including science labs and innovative classrooms.
