WHAT’S NEW

Our website is under construction!

This summer, the SOE will begin working with DCL to create a new, more functional website. Stay on the lookout for updates throughout the year.

UPCOMING EVENTS

 Rethinking Traffic and Transit: A Community Conversation  

Stephanie Hudson from the ELC department and Sophia Angeles from the CED department have worked on this proposal. We are hoping to reach out to the chief of police and city council members after we have collected some signatures.

Please feel free to pass this along to any community that you feel might benefit from having this concern or any other related concern voiced.

Please join us in supporting our efforts to engage the UNCG and greater Greensboro communities to take action to make our streets safe for all. Add your signature to the list of those who have already pledged support. We ask you to contribute to this conversation, in honor of the students, faculty, and staff at UNCG, as well as the greater community of Greensboro, who have been affected by the unsafe conditions that currently exist, to ensure our community is safe for all who share our streets. We also encourage you to join our conversation by adding your comments, questions, suggestions, ideas, insights, experiences, etc. We want to express our sincerest gratitude for your support.

TECHNOLOGY

SOE Instructional Technology Blog – Now Live!

This blog is a way for faculty to learn more about current instructional technology trends, new web 2.0 tool releases, UNCG tech events, Canvas updates, and more.  There is a feature for faculty and staff to sign up to get an email every time there is a new post, as well as adding the blog to a RSS feed.  Hopefully this is a way for SOE faculty to stay up to date with SOE IT without receiving mass emails from us!

The direct link to the blog is: http://uncgsoeit.blogspot.com/

It’s also featured on the SOE IT website under tech news: http://intech.uncg.edu/tech-news/
