RE: e-mail,handouts or both

[Horton, Joseph J.]

I would like to broaden this discussion by asking how you use technology in class. I am early in my career, but prefer chalk to PowerPoint. Our administration wants us to use more technology in the classroom and is going to provide us with a student assistant to help out. All of our students have laptops and my classes meet in rooms with internet connections at each desk. What do you do that is really worthwhile and not just glitzy?   Thanks, Joe   Joseph J.

I will be discussing that exact topic at APA this summmer--cheap plug. Whatever, I create a web page for each of my classes which includes the course syllabi and summary notes for each class lecture. Summary notes are sent before each class as e-mailed attachments prior to being downloaded on the course site.  When course papers are required, they send them to me as an attachments at which time I review, comment and grade and send back to them as attachments (no paper). This semester, I am currently coordinating our senior seminar capstone course which requires a research thesis and terminates witha faculty and peer reviewed poster. From the early stages of senior seminar until completion, email is used extensively. We also have what we call peer partners who provide e-mailed feedback reviews to me and their partners during the initial idea, first draft and final draft of that thesis. My students check their email before they have their coffee in the morning. I am not sure if students have coffee anymore.
