Campus Technologies held its 3rd annual Connected @ Elon event on Aug. 29, 2010, during New Student Orientation. Created to help incoming students learn about the technology available to them on campus, the theme of this year’s show was Family Feud.
Scott Hildebrand, assistant director of Teaching and Learning Technologies; Nick Friederich, a senior from Alexandria, Va.; and Corey Hutkin, a junior from Doylestown, Pa., engaged first-year student contestants with questions about technology. The students were asked to name the top five things they should not do on Facebook, the apps available to them through their Google Apps for Education account, and the ways they can seek technology help.
Students walked away from the show with an understanding of the ways they can stay “Connected @ Elon.” To learn more about ways you can stay “Connected @ Elon,” visit our “New to Elon” section on the Technology website.
