Dear GEPers, If anyone is interested in participating in this proposed ISA roundtable, please send me a note by 5/22 with a brief description of your relevant experience and the kinds of themes you might discuss.
Many thanks, Paul Steinberg Using Digital and Social Media in the Classroom and Beyond This roundtable will explore the promise and perils of using new media (digital media productions, Facebook, twitter, wikis, website production, etc.) to share research ideas and to promote new forms of learning in higher education and within society at large. Many academics are wary of the new media revolution, and for good reason. One the one hand, digital and online technologies offer new possibilities for bringing scholarly ideas to life, for reaching broader audiences, and for promoting creativity and collaboration in the classroom. On the other hand, these new technologies involve learning curves, make new demands on a scholar's time, and raise important questions about the norms, practices, and boundaries of scholarship. Participants will share lessons learned from their experiences using new media, offering practical advice that will serve as a launching point for an open discussion with attendees. -- Paul F.
