Abstract
The panelists will share unique instructional strategies incorporating technology and research into the classroom. As an extension of this discussion, panelists will discuss how they incorporate their pedagogy into their research agendas and, reflexively, their research agenda back into their courses. By incorporating the instructor's research back into the classroom, today's millennial students find new possibilities for their own artistic work. After sharing their insights with attendees, the presenters will engage in an open dialogue with the audience about how their research and teaching practices intersect at their universities. This session should provide insights about the potential opportunities for educators to connect research, education and professional practice within a university environment. The session's second half will open discussion to those in attendance and provide a moderated discussion forum to offer questions and/or share their own solutions.
