Social Media in the Classroom Workshop

Thanks so much to Rebecca Johnson, Director of Instructional Technologies and New Pedagogies at eTech for her workshop, “Using Social Media in the Classroom” last week. She gave a great presentation and started an interesting discussion with participants about the pros and cons of various approaches to social media for pedagogy. We appreciate her contribution to the workshop effort. Her presentation slides and resources can be found here.

Lauren Klein’s visit to the ADHC

Lauren Klein gave a fabulous talk on Nov. 7 about her research in the Thomas Jefferson archive and her use of data visualization methods to explore archival silence. She also gave a brown bag about some her favorite projects and resources. Thanks to Josh Rothman and the Summersell Center for the Study of the South for sponsoring this event!

Lauren has been kind enough to share resources from her visit via her website: http://lmc.gatech.edu/~lklein7/2012/11/06/university-of-alabama-talk/

She also mentioned D3 as resources for finding visualization tools and methods:
