About the Community

 As our strategic plan charges us:

St. Edward’s University students and faculty will connect with their peers and interact with international experts through an increasingly global and digital classroom and will customize their own learning environments through the power of technology.

Over the course of one semester, the group will meet multiple times to share their successes and challenges in shifting to a more digital lifestyle.  Each meeting will center around one theme with members and guests invited to share their solutions and insights in this joint endeavor.  We’ll also use the #100percentdigital blog and twitter (follow the hashtag #100percentdigital) to share in between meetings. We’ve set meeting topics for the fall;  group members will define Spring 2015 topics.

Fall 2014 Meeting Schedule

We will meet four times across the semester on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-4:30 pm.   Locations will vary.  Refreshments will be provided.
