Comments for Faculty Academy 2006 http://facultyacademy.org/blog Blogging the Conference Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:56:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 Comment on Upcoming TLT Fellows Prepare to Transform Classes with Technology by Gardner Writes » Blog Archive » UMW Teaching/Learning/Technology Fellows: a new season underway http://facultyacademy.org/blog/dtlt-yearbook/upcoming-tlt-fellows/#comment-12506 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 12:18:08 +0000 http://facultyacademy.org/blog/dtlt-yearbook/upcoming-tlt-fellows/#comment-12506 [...] Those of us who work in technology and faculty development know that there are huge challenges if one wants to move beyond the “low-hanging fruit” (low-hanging? I practically jumped into the harvester’s lap) and get to truly systemic innovation and progress. The UMW Teaching, Learning, and Technology Fellows’ program is our effort to get to that kind of progress. Our 2006-2007 Fellows did some fine work, individually and as a cohort, ably led by John Morello and the DTLT team. Here’s a picture of the crew in the spring of 2006 as they began their efforts. A description of the program accompanies the photo. It was thrilling to see the results as the faculty shared them with us at Faculty Academy 2007. Marjorie Och’s (Art History) virtual Venice exhibit is beautiful and inspiring, and Marjorie’s blogs this year are a huge part of UMW Blogs’ success. Charlie Sharpless (Chemistry) persuaded his students that “Chem is Cool” with an imaginative re-thinking of the freshman chemistry lab. Steve Gallik (Chemistry), a longtime fellow-journeyer in teaching and learning technologies, continued his innovations in developing an online Cell Biology lab manual. Craig Vasey (Philosophy) put together an impressive online learning space to support his Logic course. For copyright reasons it’s password protected, but you can see the header here, and a few of Craig’s early thoughts here. Project leader John Morello even joined in the fun with his own “MiniTube” project.

My colleagues and I have been working in this same sort of innovation and iteration cycle to integrate technology into teacing and learning. If you are interested in that concept, you can listen to our presentation at the 2006 Faculty Academy on Instructional Technologies. [...] […] How does this apply to education?
