Friday Laptop Lounge

Starting fall 2007 for all NKU faculty and staff: End your week–or begin your weekend–by joining us Friday afternoons from 2:00 to 3:00 in SL 221 for a weekly, user-friendly workshop on technologies for teachers and learners. Bring your laptop or use one of ours. We'll try our hands at a different technology or application each week.

You can sign up with POD in advance or just show up.
