For faculty at Springside, the summer months are dedicated to exploring new tools, playing with new ideas, and building their educational practice. Through our extensive summer technology grant program, the summer has become the perfect opportunity for faculty to explore new teaching and learning pedagogy while becoming familiar with emerging technologies and research.

The Summer Technology Grant Program began during the summer of 2006 to provide support for faculty interested in pursuing projects of interest around technology integration.  The program has blossomed into a comprehensive workshops series, with faculty and staff from all divisions leading and participating in discussions and collaborative work throughout the summer.

• In the summer of 2008 we held 17 workshops. More than 50% of faculty participated for a total of 876 hours of engagement in professional development.

• In the summer of 2009 we held 19 workshops.  More than 75% of faculty participated for a total of 1275 hours of engagement in professional development.
