Panel: Research in Teaching and Technology
November 10, 2006
People in attendance: Erin, Diane K., Maura, Gowtham, Laurance, Jim O., Karen S., Karen K., Rachel, Nate, Randy H.
MEETING NOTES
This week three of our own graduate students presented work we've done with technology in our own practice as teachers and scholars.
Nate presented on his practice of videoblogging--what it is and why we should care about yet another new/emergent media. Nate showed some sample vlogs, talked about available online tools for posting movies, discussed how our students are using these "available designs" in their everyday lives. He also spoke about how we as educators can use these "available designs" within the rhetorical framework of our classrooms.

Randy talked about using video game "footage" and "excerpts" as texts in composition classroom, and about how video games can be approached rhetorically. Randy argued that advanced gamers can be seen to use inventional strategies when they appropriate technology for the purposes of creating "compositions," and that in creating these compositions gamers construct new identities, maintain memberships in communities, and reinscribe and challenge particular cultural and aesthetic ideologies.

Karen discussed her work with the Making Our Mark @ MTU project, focusing specifically on the effect of multimodality on how students composed narratives. Her finding was that the elements of multimodality (use of photos, graphics, hypertext, visual layout, etc.) most often (but not always) replicated the conventions of school narrative. Karen then discussed the implications of this finding for composition teachers who are compelled by the trend toward multimodality in composition studies.
