Technology in the Humanities (Abstracts due 3/1/11; Final papers due 7/1/11)
Technology in the Humanities
New Educational technology provides both increasing pressure and exciting possibilities for teachers in the humanities. It has the power to absorb our time or to free it, excite our students or alienate them. We are interested in publishing two types of articles on educational technology.
1. Articles describing how educators are using:
Smart classrooms
Bulletin boards
PowerPoint
Web logs
Online photo archives
GIS
School-wide systems like Blackboard
Or other technologies to enhance traditional learning
2. Articles that consider the theoretical, ethical, and budgetary impact of educational technology in all of its emerging forms.
Preference will be given to newer forms of technology such as GIS, blogs, and wikis, but all innovative uses of technology will be considered. In addition, experiments need not be wholly successful to be of interest. When well analyzed, unexpected results can add to our knowledge as well.
Submissions are welcome from teachers, professors, librarians, trainers, administrators, and graduate students who actively use computer-enhanced instruction, or who are in the process of adopting it.
Please identify your submission with the keyword: TECHNOLOGY-22
