Teaching History with Technology: Where Pedagogy and Technology
Converge.
July 27, 28, 29
A joint workshop by the American Association for History and Computing
and the International Center for Computer Enhanced Learning at Wake
Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The appeal of computer's novelty and gadgetry has weakened for many
students and instructors of history. Conversely, after a decade of
experimentation and use, teachers and researchers have identified uses
for information and communication technologies appealing in their
effectiveness. The American Association for History and Computing and
the International Center for Computer Enhanced Learning invite you to
explore some "best practices" for the use of new technologies for
teaching history. During the three day seminar, we will identify uses of
the computer and the internet that result in success and failure. We
will look at some of the learning theories behind proper use and
consider some of the research findings of the past few years. In
addition, we will talk about the materials needed and the time
commitments involved for both students and instructors doing
computer-enhanced projects. We will look at technology integration as a
process as opposed to a component. And finally, we will provide you with
some evaluation criteria necessary to develop your own plan for the use
of new software and hardware in your classes.
Join us July 27, 28, and 29 for the Teaching History with Technology
workshop and then participate on the web in our year long follow-up
workgroup where you can benefit from the successes (and failures) of
your colleagues and share your own experiences.
