How to choose your sessions
Today is designed to maximize your options for training. You will want to choose your schedule carefully, as some of the events overlap. We have 5 kinds of training opportunities for you to choose from:
- Breakout Sessions: There are four breakout sessions during the day. Each time slot has four different topics to choose from. You are welcome to go to any of the sessions throughout the day. Sessions One and Two each have a topic that is GTA recommended, but all attendees are welcome to come to these sessions, whether or not they are graduate students.
- Special Lunch Sessions: These are longer sessions, designed for a deeper dive on the chosen topic. You are welcome to go to one of these sessions, or if you prefer, you can use the long break to go to the Labs or the Sales Room.
- Key Trainings: Many classrooms have a 鈥済ray media box鈥� that requires a key. You can get a key by attending one of these two sessions today, but if you can't find time to attend a Key Training today, there are many other times scheduled for the main campus. Today鈥檚 Key Trainings will be held in MX 130.
- Labs: MX 130 will host come-and-go lab time all day. You can get help from ITS Technology Help Desk, ITS Desktop Support, IDA鈥檚 Blackboard Lab, AAA鈥檚 Accessibility Lab, and from the Library. The lab is open all day, even during Breakout Sessions, so schedule your day accordingly.
- Sales Room: MX 142 is where you can learn what materials you might need for your classrooms, and have a chance to buy some of them at a greatly reduced cost. We are set up to take credit/debit cards and to charge to and org/fund number. The Sales Room is staffed by Glenn Gunnels, and he can help you pick what cables and adapters you are likely to need for the term.
