1.+Planning+Assessment

The vision of Integrating Technology into Adjunct Instruction (ITAI) is focused on interactivity and collaboration in the classroom with the use of technology to improve, transform, and increase student engagement. At Delaware Technical and Community College Owens Campus there are many SMART technologies that are not being utilized. This initiative will focus on the already owned but not utilized technologies. The initiative is on educating, training, and helping the adjunct faculty staff to fuse this technology into their curriculum. Engage the teacher and the students will follow.
