#37 Teaching to the Text: Textbooks or Technology? Sophie Bailey
This document summarizes a debate between educators on whether textbooks or technology are better for teaching in classrooms. Some key points made in the debate include:
- Textbooks provide structure and organization of subject matter but technology allows for more dynamic and connected lessons.
- Both textbooks and technology have roles to play in education, and a combination of the two may be most effective.
- Features like interactive graphics, sound, and video can enhance learning with digital resources, but websites are ephemeral while textbooks provide lasting materials.
- Student preferences don't always align with what research shows leads to the best learning outcomes.

Connect Your Own Dots: Social Media Integration as a Best PracticeSusan T. Evans
This session focuses on social media as a tool within your marketing and communications toolbox. Your audiences experience your brand and hear from you through an ever growing list of social media channels; but you can’t expect them to connect the dots. Instead, you need to develop a plan that will allow you to stay on message across multiple digital channels like social media aggregators, websites, editorial calendars, and social media campaigns. Remember, a social media strategy isolated from your broader communications/marketing strategy is a risk. We'll talk about specific suggestions and demonstrate best practices through case studies from educational institutions.
This presentation was offered at the 2012 CASE Annual Confer
