Technology in the Classroom

The Sandbox, a technology play and support centre for faculty and staff, is located in T219.  It is equipped with a Mac computer, an internally connected PC, and an externally connected PC, all connected to an interactive projector which projects onto a wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor whiteboard.  In addition, The Sandbox is equipped with a video and broadcast production Tri-Caster. 

The Sandbox has an access code door lock for easy access day or night by faculty and staff and has a direct office connection to two Educational Technology support staff.

Geekapalooza is an annual event held the day after College Day when the majority of faculty are back for the Fall Semester. It is a day of technology show and tell by some of the college’s biggest geeks.

The goal for Geekapalooza is to inform, inspire, and engage participants on the use of technology in education by sharing the types of technology tools or techniques that are effectively being used by faculty and staff at Medicine Hat College so that others may learn and benefit from these experiences.
