Faculty today must have a high digital IQ. Classroom technology and social media are here to stay so it’s time for nurse educators to sharpen their skills as digital content creators. Through a collaboration between AACN and Apple, we are happy announce the Digital Innovation Bootcamp: From Concept to Action. This bootcamp-style program is designed specifically for faculty, administrators and staff in nursing programs to create and curate content to engage students in learning experiences in classroom, online, laboratory, and clinical settings.
During this 3-day intensive program you will learn from Apple development executives and Apple distinguished educators about what leading technologies are available to help transform the higher learning experience. Successful applicants will leave Austin with hands-on experience using new, innovative, and engaging digital content tools, and a personal learning network from peer support.
Participants are expected to complete a digital project and will be given the opportunity to present at one of AACN's upcoming conferences. AACN will waive the presenter fee for those selected to present at an AACN conference:
