Student Voices: Conversations on the Diversity of Student Experience in Lehigh's Classrooms. Each conversation will highlight the experience of a different group of students, with a focus on how their particular identities and backgrounds shape their experience as learners at Lehigh. A panel of three or four students will share their experiences in our classrooms and offer their perspectives on practices that they have found helpful or not so helpful. It is our hope that participants in these conversations will leave with a broadened understanding of student diversity and an improved understanding of factors that affect student learning and student success.

This hands-on workshop will demonstrate a powerful video creation tool that is at the fingertips or in the pockets of nearly every American - the cell phone. The video capabilities of cell phones are becoming so great that even some feature films and documentaries are being recorded exclusively with them. During this 2 1/2 hour long workshop you will learn good tips and techniques for shooting video with your iPhone or iPad mobile device. The workshop will cover inexpensive products that can help improve recording quality and the software available on Apple's iOS to perform the editing. We'll practice recording in the field and editing in the classroom. By the end of the workshop, you should be able to walk away with a finished video. Please bring your iPhone/iPad. Some iPads will be available for use as well for participants who don't have an iPhone. (The Cap for this workshop is 12)
