*Teaching Anthropology 2.0: Innovative Strategies for Incorporating Visual Technologies into Teaching and Learning* *SEEKING Roundtable Discussion Participants (including Graduate Instructors) for a session at the American Anthropological Association (AAA) November 2008 Annual Conference in San Francisco, California. * *One paper will be submitted for the panel. Individual participants are not required to offer a paper. It is your teaching experiences articulated in a semi-structured roundtable discussion that is requested, allowing fellow panelists and the audience to share their best practices and lessons learned. * ABSTRACT Laptops are almost ubiquitous among students on college campuses today. If students do not have laptops, then chances are they have a cell phone not far out of reach. These technologies present exciting pedagogical opportunities for instructors and students alike. This panel will share ideas and lessons learned from incorporating new visual and internet technologies in the classroom. We will explore ideas for student collaboration and co-publishing online, the use of photography and video in the classroom, social networking sites used for teaching the history of anthropology and service-learning, wikis, blogs and other technologies. We will also discuss the limitations of these technologies, including the "Google effect" whereby undergraduate students appear eager to type one word into a journal or library database and choose whatever appears first for their research. Additionally, we will discuss other factors that affect students use of learning technology such as access and their level of web/technology "literacy." The panel will present ideas for adapting these tools for course learning objectives while increasing student engagement and learning. The panel will also focus on user-friendly applications for any level of instructor, and audience members will be encouraged to share their ideas with the group.
