Conversations about the intersection of technology and teaching

rewirED is a place to discuss how we can best harness the power of technology to make learning environments as effective as possible. It’s about taking the best thought and practice and the best technology and blending them in a way that allow us to capitalize on both. It’s about sharing ideas, asking questions, and being inspired.


About rewirED

rewirED talks are for Columbia faculty, staff, and teaching assistants interested in conversations about the intersection of technology and teaching.

At each session we'll look at a problem we think occurs when technology and teaching merge. We'll present research, show the best tools and how to incorporate them into your course, bring up challenges, and open things up for discussion.

rewirED is sponsored by the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL). CCNMTL partners with Columbia University faculty to enhance teaching and learning through the purposeful use of technology and new media.

Butler Library, Room 605
Info & Registration

In this session, CCNMTL educational technologists Adrienne Garber and Michael Cennamo will explore several ways in which class time can be used differently by implementing "the flipped model" in your course. Typical elements of every course such as Q&A, review, discussion and lecture can be parceled out of the classroom, freeing up valuable class time to promote a deeper and richer face-to-face experience for both you and your students.
