ITAP: Mentoring The Next Generation of Instructional Technologists

Nine students from the New York 6 Instructional Technology Apprenticeship Program (ITAP) will present their culminating projects in this poster session. The goal of ITAP is to engage students in a one-year consortial paraprofessional educational technology experience incorporating teaching, learning, and real-world practice. Now in its fourth year, ITAP has experimented with and developed new approaches to consortium-level course support, pedagogy, blended learning, professional development, and networking, which created heightened agility, connectivity, and bold new opportunities in our educational technology efforts. Please join our apprentices and mentors to discuss their projects and gain an understanding of the unique benefits and challenges.

Outcomes: Learn about the leadership benefits and challenges of an apprentice program * Learn about a collaborative, blended learning project * Interact with mentors and apprentices in this program
