So, what are students really learning in digital classrooms?: A program-wide qualitative and quantitative assessment

Some other things for this project…

1. What is an iPhone really capable of? (What apps can I download/buy?)

2. How accurate is the information found on the web?

3. As a whole sesssion B.9 didn’t seem to relevant to the goal of “iPhones or Student Loans.”  However, Dr. “Dickie” Selfe has what looks to be an interesting and (topic) relevant presentation.  I would love to get my hands on his presentation and maybe ask a couple of questions. i.e. How does technology change, challenge, and invigorate?

4. I don’t know how relevant (or possible) this would be, but…I want to see if we can grab copies of syllabuses from different teachers.  The point is to identify how much technology has changed their teaching.  Obviously, these teachers would have had to be around for some years.

Restoration, Romantics, Postmodernism…Have we entered a new era of literature and what does that mean for previous eras?

So Wesch’s video is in there in clips instead of prints. Yea! I used “Icarus” by Mythos for the clips instead of “Imagine” the whole way through because “Imagine” felt too slow against the clips.

There are a few things I need to remedy with this draft. The biggest problem is M. Wesch’s YouTube video is not supposed to be a picture but the opening and ending of his “The Machine is Us/ing Us.”

Yea for YouTube!

1. Serene- (Color palette) It’s like a wallflower. Nice to look at but it also blends in. It’s not neon orange or pink. I can stare at it and my eyes won’t hurt.

2. Action- There’s a sense that something is happening. The viewer of a picture can’t see it or the reader hasn’t gotten to the action, but they know there’s more to it.

3. An “Unfinished End”- It’s calm. There’s a sense of peace. Maybe it’s a little upbeat, but really it’s kinda depressing. Like the end of the movie version of A Walk to Remember, they get married but she dies of cancer like two months later. Think Nocturne by Billy Joel.
