Jill Burgess, Director of the NASNTI Grant

Hello USAO faculty, staff and students. I’m am particularly enthusiastic about the August 2017 edition of USAO IDEA. NASNTI staff have been diligently working to get three classrooms on campus; Austin Hall 206, Troutt Hall 314 and Davis Hall 124 equipped with instructional technology to help deliver new and interactive instruction to the already brilliant learning that happens at USAO. One more classroom is also receiving an upgrade, that is the Kiowa Clemente Mobile Classroom. The Kiowa Clemente Class will be outfitted with instructional technology to assist with the preservation of the Kiowa language.

The “Dynamic Duo” (Scott and Ginger) will be ready to share the newest instructional technology available at USAO on Thursday August 17, 2017 from 3:00 pm -5:00 pm to faculty that will be teaching in the select upgraded classrooms. Also on Friday, August 18, 2017 from 9:30 am — 4:30 pm to anyone that would like to come by Troutt 314 and learn, play, and experience the technology. Faculty, I encourage you to check out the NASNTI Mini Technology Grants, you can find more information about that here, deadline for submission is August 31. Please be sure and consider writing a NASNTI Mini Technology Grant, there are an infinite number of instructional technology ideas that can enhance instruction and it is “free money”!

I truly hope that you are ready and willing to jump into this new experience of instructional technology. Happy reading and as always, if you have any comments or concerns please don’t hesitate to call me at 405–574–1317 or send an email to jburgess@usao.edu.
