The countdown to Faculty Academy 4.0 is ticking along. Recognizing that we wanted to document, document, document this event, we took a page from Penn State’s Teaching & Learning with Technology Symposium and set up our own conference blog. (Thanks to D’Arcy Norman for pointing out the Penn State example in the first place.)

As THEA435 wraps up (we’ll be gathering this evening to watch students’ final projects), I thought I’d take a moment to post this image.
This is a scan of a scrap of paper on which I took notes during a meeting with Andy and Jerry last fall. The notes grew out of a conversation in which [...]
A Conversation with Gregg Stull
Published by April 20th, 2006 in Podcasts, Projects and THEA435. 0 CommentsLast week, Jerry Slezak, Andy Rush, and I sat down with Gregg Stull to talk about the status of the Theatre 435 project. We recorded the interview, and a podcast of that conversation is attached.
The audio isn’t perfect (a cell phone interrupts at one point and the air-conditioning came on for a strange, 10-second burst [...]
Digital storytelling. . .and beyond?
Published by March 20th, 2006 in Projects and THEA435. 5 CommentsLast week, the students in THEA435 returned from New York with many hours of iRiver-ed audio content, several tapes of video footage, and tons of digital photos. This past week, they’ve been working on uploading all of that content into the Content Gallery. They’ve also been busy tagging their group map with information about [...]
No, this image has not been Photoshop-ed
Published by March 8th, 2006 in Projects and THEA435. 1 CommentYep, that’s four of the students from THEA435 with Meryl Streep. They got a couple of pictures with her after they stalked the stage door for Bridge and Tunnel. Too bad they couldn’t get her to agree to a podcast
I’m officially jealous.
It seems like just yesterday we were teaching them about wikis and the fundamentals of RSS. The next thing we know they’re posting to their blogs from a hotel in Florida.
The kids — they grow up so quickly these days. . .
Week Six: Coming into their own?
Published by February 22nd, 2006 in Projects and THEA435. 2 CommentsExcuse me while I wipe a proud tear from my eye. This week, I feel like the students in Gregg’s class are really coming into their own. They posted their first videos to their blogs and the content gallery, and it is exciting to see them beginning to get comfortable with those tools. [...]
Last night, I got my first chance to lead the THEA 435 class during “technology time.” My topics were Bloglines (which my colleagues had gotten the ball rolling on last week) and del.icio.us. Ultimately, both of these tools have a lot to do with RSS, so we spent time talking about that as well.
I [...]
THEA435 Week Two: Pacing & Precipices
Published by January 26th, 2006 in Projects and THEA435. 1 CommentWe’re in the second week of Gregg Stull’s Ideas in Performance class, and things are going along swimingly. This week, we’re showing students how to add images to their blogs and wikis and how to store those images in our Coppermine content library. During lab time this week, Andy will be showing them [...]
Well, tonight was the first meeting of Gregg Stull’s THEA435 class. If you’ve been following along with us, you know that we’ve been working on a plan to integrate technology into this seminar class.
Tonight, Andy and Jim introduced students to the basics of wikis and blogs. Later this week, we’ll schedule a lab time [...]
