The Fifth Annual Technology Showcase will be held Tuesday, March 21 at the UC.

This year, the showcase runs from 1-6 p.m. on the main floor of the UC.

A guest speaker, Dr. James I. Penrod, is slated for 1-2 p.m. in the Watkins Auditorium. Penrod, a graduate Education professor at the University of Memphis, also is an AT&T fellow in the Advanced Learning Center, FedEX Institute of Technology at UM.

Every year the focus for the Technology Showcase is on the general concept of greater use of technology in education. It gives UTM’s Information Technology Services the opportunity to show the campus and the local community the projects and processes in which faculty members and departments are involved, both in and out of the classroom, that use technology.

All who attend the showcase will be able to visit with representatives of such technology companies as Dell, Gateway, Apple, Riso, Microsoft, Macromedia and Howard, among others, and will be able to see the companies’ latest products.

The showcase also will feature an XBox 360 Gaming Tournament and a chance for attendees to register at the UTM Computer Store to win an iPod Nano.
