THATCamp - an unconference about technology and the humanities

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:54:20 -0000

Comments:

I thought you would be interested in seeing this. There are a variety of different camps focused on the use of technology in the humanities. They are organized as unconferences, meaning that topics are often spontaneous and the events are very cheap. Look at the list - there is one on pedagogy, one on games, etc... - Allan Gyorke

Social Media's Slow Slog Into the Ivory Towers of Academia - Josh Sternberg - Technology - The Atlantic

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

This is a good way to illustrate the huge shift in perspective faculty need to face. - Christopher Long

Sarah Smith-Robbins, professor and Director of Emerging Technologies at the Kelly School of Business at Indiana University, teaches a course called "Social and Digital Marketing." "We go over the theories behind social media: why do things go viral, the social theories of how people act and how they communicate to a network, or one person at a time, and why do certain tools work they way they do for us,"

Too bad the focus is marketing here. - Christopher Long

Professor Vorvoreanu agrees: "I don't think you have the credibility of doing research, of writing about, unless you get to really know that culture. And the best way of knowing the culture is to actually be immersed in it."

God forbid we learn something from our students.

"The students teach each other much more than they used to," he said. "They need some guidance on how to do that, and they need a little bit of an awakening because they've been in a kind of test-trance for so many years."

Among educators, Eric Sheninger is something of a social networking hero. The principal of New Milford (N.J.) High School has nearly 12,300 Twitter followers (his handle: @NMHS_Principal). He and his teachers use Facebook to communicate with students and parents, and students use it to plan events. - John Dolan

Using LaTeX on the iPad: A review of the best and worst apps for writing mathematics. | futurebird

Description and evaluation of latex apps for ipad. - Suzanna Linn
I use latex to typeset all my academic work, rather than using Word. One big advantage of using latex is it's handling of math. In political science a large number of people (including at least 6 faculty in our department and half our grad students) use it as their word processing app of choice. You create a tex file and "tex" it our process it. There are a handful of latex editing apps for the ipad (tex files are just ascii so code be produced using other apps). There is no way to process it on the ipad. However, there are some websites that will handle the processing (scribtex.com) or presumably you can do this with some app that gives you remote control of your mac and run it after putting it in dropbox. I'll be investigating this further. - Suzanna Linn

An open journal in the humanities. Perhaps this is a venue in which we might consider submitting material in the spirit of Stuart Selber's questions about publication. - Christopher Long
