Welcome!
The NASPA Technology Knowledge Community has re-launched NASPA Tech Tools, a website featuring news, articles, and interactive discussions featuring technology information for the student affairs community.
With this revamped site we hope to engage and empower higher education professionals - both inside NASPA and out. Our vision is that NASPA Tech Tools will foster a welcoming community, focused on the distribution of knowledge, that embraces all visitors regardless of their technical expertise and that moves the discussion of technology and student affairs forward in exciting ways.
We invite you to visit the site or even get involved in its operation. We are currently looking for volunteers interested in serving as section editors, columnists, or syndication contributors. Contact TKC Co-Chair, Chris Husser for inquiries.
In their December 2006 meeting, the NASPA Board of Directors approved the re-establishment of the Technology Knowledge Community (TKC). As noted in the proposal to re-establish the KC, "Technology is ubiquitous in higher education and in the student affairs profession. The speed at which technology advances has created gaps in the knowledge base and experiences of the 'digital immigrants' who are trying to serve today’s 'digital natives' (Prensky, 2001)."
Information Technology poses challenges and creates opportunities for student affairs administrators and researchers. With this Knowledge Community, we hope to "provide structure for members to explore and collaborate on this topic."
