Hello there, I am looking for some examples of innovative ways that "digital technologies" such as blogs, facebook/myspace, wikis, flickr sites, cell phones, clickers, etc. have been used in teaching college classes. These can be success or disaster stories, revelations, or suggestions of any articles about the topic. Thank you! irina Irina Gendelman PhD Candidate CIDR Consultant Box 352310 University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195-2310 www.urbanarchives.org
Irina, There is a growing literature on the use of wikis in education and nearly all the research I know of is in colleges. Here are a few papers that jump to mind: Bruns, Axel and Sal Humphreys. (2005) "Wikis in Teaching and Assessment - The M > Cyclopedia Project." Proceedings of WikiSym 2005. http://snurb.info/files/Wikis%20in%20Teaching%20and%20Assessment.pdf Forte, Andrea and Amy Bruckman.

Irina I am not sure if this is what you want but I am working on a project called "Harnessing the Power" which teaches staff and students in my faculty @ ECU how to use the inbuilt audio and video capabilities of the Mac computers in combination with course work. I have used this approach last semester with a colleague to teach a history unit. This approach worked really well and will be expanded this semester to include several languages, geography and English writing. The full documentation for the original project is online at: http://isp.ecu.edu.au/actproj/ if you want to take a look.

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1997037,00.asp?kc=EWNAVEMNL080106EOAD Four Countries Commit to Buy 4 Million Linux-Powered OLPC Laptops By DesktopLinux.com Staff <http://www.desktoplinux.com/> at eWeek.com August 1, 2006 A spokesperson for the One Laptop Per Child program reported July 31 that the countries of Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina and Thailand have each committed to purchase 1 million Linux laptops through the U.S.-based program. Several media outlets reported last week that Nigeria had committed to buying 1 million of the laptops, and others reported (incorrectly) that $1 million worth of computersor about 10,000 machineshad been requested by the African nation. OLPC Program Director for Middle East and Africa Khaled Hassounah confirmed to DesktopLinux.com July 31 that Nigeria has indeed committed to buy 1 million machines, and then revealed that Brazil, Argentina and Thailand also have placed similar commitments. "We have not finalized the deal with the Nigerian government yet, but we are in the process of doing so," Hassounah told DesktopLinux.com. "The person who announced the Nigerian government's commitment to buying the laptops [Professor Ernest Ndukwe] is a key member of the Nigerian Task Force working with OLPC on bringing laptops to Nigerian children." "We are actively moving ahead with Brazil, Argentina and Thailand. [Other countries] are being considered," Hassounah said. The OLPC <http://laptop.org/> aims to distributefree of chargemillions of Linux-based laptop computers, complete with their own power sources, to needy children in developing countries around the world.
