Technology in Transit is a monthly event organized by Educational Technology Support (ETS) office for students in the Faculty of Education to showcase their learning technologies. The purpose of this one-hour session is to raise awareness of different technologies and to show how to incorporate them into classrooms.
For the month of November, Eric will introduce the Canvas Mobile App (Google Play, Apple) as well as the Canvas Teacher mobile app (Google Play, Apple). Both of these apps are mobile app derivatives of our new Learning Management System, Canvas. With this app, you can now manage your learning content on the go. Eric will be presenting on November 15th, from 12pm-1pm in the Scarfe Foyer.
Some of the features for Students include:
