CIRT would like to acknowledge recent recipients of our Scholarly Grants who will be attending a conference in New Orleans this month.  Congratulations to Elizabeth Valenti, Jessi Farmer, Holly Love, Kelly Padilla, Rick Holbeck, Laura Terry  and Bruce Bennett .  A few of the topics they will be discussing are ways of using technology and social media to bring course materials to life and increase student engagement, using technology to enhance group collaboration in blended learning and 10 technologies for efficient and effective online teaching.
