LCM Administrators Amazing Technology Journey
What is the Amazing Technology Race? • Four stations (Journeys) for each team to complete in various locations on the Lamar State College-Orange campus. • You will learn how to use a variety of applications and complete tasks during each journey. • An opportunity for brainstorming and collaboration to develop ideas for integrating technology in your daily activities. • Each team is a cohort group which will share technology and serve as a mentor for technology infusion efforts on our campuses to engage students.
Participation • All team members must participate in each journey. Each team member must be the “leader” of at least one task with input from all team members. • Don’t let the team members who are most familiar with technology do everything. If you already know how to do a task, coach someone else on your team who doesn’t. • The purpose is for everyone to get hands-on experience! • This is a collaborative journey, if you find resources you think others would find valuable, post them on the Wiki.
Instructions • Follow the clue (given to you by a race coordinator) to your first journey. NOTE: The clue cards are only a summary of the journey and does not contain step-by-step instructions. • Complete the challenge by following the directions found online in the Amazing Technology Race wiki. http://lcmadminatjourney.wikispaces.com/Home • After completing the journey, a race coordinator will provide you with a completed stamp for your team’s passport. • Get your clue to the next journey (envelopes are labeled by team #... be sure to get the right one!) • Repeat! • Complete as many challenges as you can in the allotted time.
Team Reflections Page • At the end of the allotted time, each team will fill out a “Reflections” page on the Amazing Technology Journey Wiki.
