Professional Development
Instruction
support uses technology as a tool to promote learning. We offer classes
for ASU faculty and instructors which go beyond " how the internet
works" to examine ways to make effective use of technology in education.
The primary objective of our courses is to assist instructors in advancing
learning through the use of technology and bring this knowledge into the
classroom. Take a look at
the current classes.

Arizona State Public Information Network (ASPIN)
 Since its 1987 inception, the Arizona State Public Information Network (ASPIN) coalition has been pivotal in the establishment of state networking resources. ASPIN garnered funding and established Arizona's first connections to what has become the Internet. The ASPIN coalition extended this connectivity from the Universities, to the rural community colleges, and on to K-12, while building partnerships between University researchers, and the Arizona community. Currently, ASPIN maintains a close relationship with K-12 schools, state and local government, the legislature, the business community, and Arizona's universities to facilitate the development of mutually beneficial collaborations. By utilizing these strong relationships established under ASPIN, a diverse community of interests unite and combine resources with the K-12 education community to initiate and implement field-based, community-driven projects.
