"You want me to use my phone during a lecture? I’m listening!” - Technology for teaching
Vancouver International Conference on the Teaching of Psychology (Vancouver, Canada, 27-Jul-2017–29-Jul-2017)

Abstract
Advances in technology occur so regularly that it's hard for most of us to keep up. Whilst academics want the best for their students, it's often difficult to learn about new tools to enhance student outcomes, despite good intentions. Combined with increasing pressure from universities to use blended learning strategies and to provide timely access to feedback, academics can feel overwhelmed in the technological space. In this practical workshop, you will learn how to use a simple yet powerful online polling program - GoSoapBox - to improve your teaching practice. Examples will be provided about application in postgraduate and undergraduate psychology teaching programs. This resource allows educators to modify their teaching to suit student's needs, provides summative feedback to students in live time, builds a sense of community in the classroom (e.g. "I'm not alone in my anxiety about this subject!"), and keeps educator's ahead of the curve with organisational demands.
