APSA Conference on Teaching and Learning, Washington, DC February 2012

Dr. Svetlana Suveica and I presented a paper at the American Political Science Association Annual Meeting in Washington, DC in February:

"Creating a Global Classroom: Providing Collaborative Research Opportunities for U.S. and Moldovan Students"

Dr. Suveica joined our session via skype videoconference, adding a truly international dimension to the conference's Internationalizing the Curriculum Track at the Conference on Teaching and Learning.

We received very positive and encouraging feedback on our paper.

In addition to attending all of the sessions of the Internationalizing the Curriculum Track, I also learned a great deal from the workshops that I attended regarding technology in the classroom. I learned new ways to use facebook as a tool for group work, cell phones as a way to get instant poll results, and twitter and blogs to engage students outside of class.
