Energizing your Teaching with Technology

On Tuesday, April 10 Professor Dalton Kehoe, an IRLT member, spoke about energizing your teaching with technology. Professor Kehoe - one of the first faculty members of the Social Science Division in 1967 – eventually became a member of the Communication Studies Programme in 1983 - and after a 41 year career, retired from York in 2008 as Senior Scholar of Communications Studies in the Communication Studies Department. Early in his teaching career he was recognized as one of the top-ten teachers in the province by OCUFA. He has won York’s university-wide teaching award and was twice recognized as one of the top professors in Ontario by TVO.
