Subject: Essays on Use of Technology in Teaching Am. Studies
The American Studies Crossroads Project is soliciting responses
from teachers throughout the international American Studies
Community who are working with interactive technologies of any
kind to enhance their teaching of American culture and history
courses.
Specifically we are looking for teachers who are interested in:
* Developing a case study or course portfolio of pedagogical
materials on courses using interactive technologies;
* Writing a short reflective essay (1000-1500 words) on
their use of information technologies in teaching, how it
served their pedagogical and intellectual goals of the
course, lessons learned, etc.
The materials will be for electronic publication as part of the
American Studies Electronic Crossroads Web Site and perhaps for
inclusion in the first Crossroads handbook, SO, WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT? A
PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR USING TECHNOLOGY TO TEACH AMERICAN STUDIES. The guide is
being produced as a Crossroads Project publication.
