I love this idea. Is anyone coming who teaches French lit – in French, I mean? It’s been a long time since I read Tartuffe in French. (I do think it’s a little bit of an odd requirement, but I also kind of love […]

Anyone who is chartered with bringing technology to the humanities types at the UofC is someone whose bootcamp I’ll be attending, despite the chagrin I feel about how badly (read: little) I incorporated it into my […]

I like this lab idea a lot. I’m increasingly frustrated with how much class time I’m devoting to all kinds of “basics,” including research and writing. Adding in the basics of technology will leave me with very […]

I like the idea of using something like Google Docs for shared notes and questions with responses. Given the research suggesting that books have certain advantages in terms of comprehension, I wonder if a […]

Michelle, we should talk about this at camp – I fear it, so perhaps can offer some helpful strategies…

I hadn’t thought of this concern in quite these terms, Dave – but I agree. Students already worry over other variations from class to class or teacher to teacher in terms of writing expectations and models, etc; […]

I’m ready to jump into working with digitized primary sources, as my own research to date has been fully supported by traditional stacks…. In the classroom, I’d like to start out with collaborative research that […]

Barbara, I think you’re raising a key concern: how to incorporate these assignments and resources in a way that feels central or foundational, rather than an afterthought or (worse!) an attempt to be current or […]

John, I’m interested in this topic from the perspective of the user. I suspect there are ways of drawing on digital archives that I’m not picking up on – the advantages they provide over image-only sources. Your […]

I’d love to be part of some conversations about how to incorporate these key skills into new contexts and platforms. Not only would this open up new ways to support development of the skills, but it would offer a […]

This sounds better and better, Michelle! I’m hoping to become more comfortable with the skills involved with this kind of site (modest though they may seem to the more experienced!) and also to use some of my […]

This looks very much like the kind of site I’m imagining. I’d like to have a single place where I can post changes in plans, assignments, a template for students to monitor their grades (or a grade calculator), […]

Your #1 is crucial – and I’m especially interested because this is something I am concerned about, myself. I am leery of technology for its own sake…

I’m very intrigued by #2, as I tend to do a fair amount of […]

This is of great interest to me. I’ve been using group videos for both major and minor assignments and more or less winging it with regard to all these questions. My situation is further complicated because I […]

There are so many things I’m curious about, but the one that comes to mind immediately is the use of specialized websites…

I’ve used Moodle and Chalk/Blackboard to some good ends and find them very helpful, […]
