We welcome your views and input concerning the use of technology to improve teaching and learning.<\/p>\n<p>One of CERT\u2019s responsibilities is to review applications for funding exploratory and innovative projects in technology-enabled learning. The committee awards up to a total of $20,000 each academic year; past grant applications have received funding ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 for equipment, software and other related needs. (CET grants may not be used for stipends or other compensation.) \u00a0Please review our <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/grants-overview-and-criteria\/\">Grant Program Overview<\/a>\u00a0for more details on program requirements, funding options, and selection criteria.<\/p>\n<p>CERT also works with the staff who support digital pedagogy around the college to develop resources and workshops that support faculty adoption of technology-enabled learning strategies. Please contact your CERT members if you have ideas or suggestions about how we could more effectively support faculty development around issues of technology use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denise McKahn, Co-Chair<\/strong><br \/>\nCommittee on Educational Technology<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heather Woods, Co-Chair<\/strong><br \/>\nCommittee on Educational Technology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Committee on Educational and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page-full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":141,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/141"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/cet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
