What we've done with Club!
Throughout the past two semesters our club has been working on a variety of interesting activities, fundraisers, and presentations. First off our club has gained several awards for our hard work and dedication. At the last Awards Ceremony for Broward College Clubs four of our members gained individual awards for their outstanding leadership, club attendance, good maintenance while still really active in club, and for many others. And the entire club had the honor of receiving an award for Most Outstanding School Event for our Education Symposium. Also we as a club enjoy giving back to the community so we attended The Autism Walk, The Breast Walk, and we had the pleasure of helping repair some parts of our own community in The Day of Caring for Hispanic Unity. Besides helping our community we also try to provide our fellow peers with Technology help by offering workshops in areas that many students don’t know much about. Last semester we provided a workshop on How to use Mac Computers, it was a success and our club members and officers took part in teaching the course to get a feel for what teaching a class is like. Also to further serve our community we encourage our Club members to volunteer at the daycare on Broward College Campus or go to hospitals to visit children who are in need of care and affection. And finally last semester we put together a 20 minute video of everything our club entails and does to a meeting where the President of Broward College attended, it was an honor to be asked to do this because we were the only club presenting what we do for our fellow peers who are going into the field of Education. So till this point this all we have done and we have many upcoming events that are coming up.

What we're all about!
Our club is mainly for teaching majors. We encourage these students to continue to pursue the teaching field. Through this club our students will come out with very valuable information about their preferred field, as well as knowledge about the various softwares and technology products that will enhance the way we teach. If we need to teach to the future society we must also update our way of teaching. As teachers we tend to teach the way we learned but that is not the way things are now. The times are changing so our methods of teaching should change for the better. In this club we teach members about teaching strategies and new developments in technology and how to integrate these into teaching. The club members who have special skills will be encouraged to do a workshop on how to use different teaching techniques, technologies, or software. In this club we teach the value of team effort. This way of learning is an excellent way of motivating and preparing students to use creative lesson plans, as well as technology, in their future classrooms. There is no better way of learning than through hands-on experiences, teamwork, and support from peers and professors.

Welcome
Welcome to the world of technology! It is amazing that such high technological advances have been created and incorporated into our classrooms. The teachers of today have an advantage over those of yesterday in the sense that information can come to them in a click of the mouse! Also, the classroom can come to you online, rather than you coming to the classroom.
The Education and Technology Club can open so many doors for you! For instance, you will get a better understanding of the education field. The practice, techniques, skills,and experience you gain now, will mold you as you go off into your future teaching career. It is to your benefit to be part of such an enthusiastic team of future educators. Thinking, creativity, employability, and technological skills will develop by networking together. The best part of this comradery is that relationships will flourish, not only for the remainder of your student life, but also for the rest of your teaching career. So, now it is your turn to take that leap and be a part of the Education and Technology Club!
Of course, there are many opportunities to be gained, such as, scholarships, sharing ideas, networking with other future and current teachers, assistance in learning new software applications, etc. Obviously, the most important gain is seeing how real-life teachers work in the technological world of today.
Not only do you gain experience within the classroom, but you also get a good sense of the technology you will be using in this career by having hands-on experience through community service, workshops, and projects.
Isn't it great to give back to the community? Well, here is your opportunity to get out there and use what you have learned! Tutoring, mentoring, brainstorming/assisting in promoting technology, and school volunteering are just some of the few ways you can plant your seed into the community. Now watch as it grows?
Don't worry if you are not an "Einstein" in technology. In order to better your understanding, we have provided useful workshops that will exfoliate your technological skills. Who knows...you might be surprised about your hidden talents! Podcasting, creating a website, a blog, a gradebook, building a resume, working with Microsoft Office, photoshops, and Children's Educational Software are some of the few workshops in which you can uncover your hidden skills.
Now, once you have learned and discovered your talents, it is your opportunity to use them by working on Education and Technology Club projects. For instance, creating bulletin boards, flyers, newsletters, presentations, and fundraisers, are all sorts of ways you can add your personal touch to the club. To go way beyond, you will also be given the opportunity to shine by coming up with creative concepts for the Education Symposiums, League of Innovation, Faculty Mentor/Mentee Technology Fair, and even the FFMT Conference.
You will be ecstatic to know that this club does not discriminate! All majors are welcome!!! If you have a niche for learning and/or teaching and want to help the community and to show off your great networking skills, come to the Education and Technology Club. Our doors are always open! Will you come in and join us?
