 * Are students sleeping in class; it's time to energize and "edu-tain" them! **

Today's students expect education on their terms. What are those expectations and how do the educators of today meet those expectations? This presentation will provide a venue of technological tools and associated apps that will appeal to and engage a new generation of adult learners. Web 4.0 technological tools will be discussed and shared. These should be able to be easily deployed to promote collaboration and engagement, of which an outcome is retention in the online world of education of today and beyond. If students are "edu-tained", showing up to class becomes a social event. Join us for an interactive session of ideas and suggestions.
