Welcome

As the newly-elected National Chair of the NASPA Technology Knowledge Community (TKC), I want to let you know that there are some exciting things happening in the TKC; if you’re interested in learning more or joining our group, please read on. We know that we have three distinct groups of people in the Knowledge Community:

  • Enthusiasts, who want to learn how technology can enable or enhance their work
  • Managers, who have direct responsibility for technology in their organization
  • Scholars, who focus on using technology in teaching and education

Most members want to know how other student affairs professionals are using technology, how they can better use technology themselves, and in general what are the current industry “best practices”. Using technology to save money is another topic of great interest.
With that said, we would like to create a group that can satisfy the needs of Student Affairs professionals who are Enthusiasts, Managers, or Scholars of Technology. Our first approach to meet your needs is to develop a monthly newsletter that have useful information on a variety of technology topics. We invite all type of participation in this newsletter and we hope to tap into some of the excitement and enthusiasm found in things like #sachat We’d like to identify practices and people (students, faculty and staff, as well as resources outside of the academy) committed to improving the role of technology in student affairs.  We hope to get some individuals that are passionate about technology involved with our KC leadership. Finally, we would like to develop a listing of “Student Affairs Technology Competencies” for NASPA Members. This list will help student affairs practitioners develop an understand of their skill areas (and areas for improvement) regarding technology.
If you can relate to any of the above, please consider joining our knowledge community!
