Hello #acadv & #nacada13 friends! The 2013 Annual NACADA Conference has kicked off, and is in full swing here in Salt Lake City, UT. This might be my last week serving as the NACADA Technology in Advising Commission (#AdvTech) chair; however I have no doubt that our group will continue great things with the incoming elected chair, Julie Larsen (@julieclarsen). Here is a little bit about our NACADA Commission, and how you can get involved with us whether you are in SLC or at home.
What is the #AdvTech Commission?
The purpose of NACADA’s Technology in Advising Commission is to help academic advisors, faculty advisors, and advising administrators understand the impact of using technologies in advising, including:
- Online communication & virtual advising
- Degree audits & web registration
- Student information systems & electronic advising notes
- Social and connected spaces for innovative staff/faculty resources
- Understand the ideas and trends of how technology is being utilized in higher education
How to get active with our commission? Find out from our very own #advtech steering committee member and NACADA Commission & Interest Group Division Service Award winner, Paul Cox (@peacox), on how to get ACTIVE with #advtech:
