Educators admitted free to CHAT Festival Feb. 16-20

The Institute for the Arts and Humanities of UNC-Chapel Hill will present a digital arts and humanities festival on the UNC campus. The Collaborations: Humanities, Arts & Technology Festival will be held Feb 16-20 and is open to the public. The festival is providing registration at no charge to all K-12 educators.

As part of the festival, the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Education is organizing sessions for K-12 teachers that translate festival topics into classroom-friendly ideas for integrating technology and teaching. Hands-on workshops will feature technologies such as Voice Thread, wikis, and handheld devices. Faculty and doctoral students from UNC and N.C. State will facilitate these sessions.

CHAT will draw together the region’s diverse digital resources in performances, discussions, demonstrations, and workshops. Festival events will explore ways in which digital technologies are changing how we learn, think, know, teach, and express ourselves, both as individuals and as communities.
