By College of Education Staff

Last month, the University of Maryland College of Education and Dean Jennifer King Rice presented their inaugural Terrapin EdTalks event in celebration of 100 years of leadership in education. This centennial celebration, held at The Clarice, featured five faculty talks that highlight how the college is paving the way to advance equity in Maryland and beyond. 

Patricia A. Alexander presented her Terrapin EdTalk titled "The 'Non-Smart' Use of Smart Technologies: The New Digital Divide for Today's iGeneration." She encourages the audience to think about the over- or misuse of technology by today's young people and the impact the new digital divide has on connections between peers and on learning.
