Moreover, when I finished chortling with sympathy, I found an array of very helpful articles on topics pertinent to me as a teacher at Seabury and as a home educator. It’s compendious and rich, and I recommend it highly.... AKMA 2003-09-12T20:08:30-06:00 http://disseminary.org/seminar/wabash/archives/000722.html The New Creighton Model Just trying this thing out. Above is the link on one Scripturalist's digital journey from print to cyberspace that I just emailed to everyone. George Kalantzis's email was returned to me as undeliverable.

By way of summary, here are the goals we reached as the outcome of last year’s conference:Peer-review of digital mediaMaking available consulting theological technologiesWriting for Teaching Theology and ReligionMore conversations such as this one, perhaps scheduled for videoconferencing with regional meetings (Luther is actually planning such a conference)Better planning for Lilly grants, so that regional granting is coordinated and mutually-reinforcingNational version of Jim's computer campBringing together IT/library people, students, and faculty to work togetherFaculty technology associates--grants to buy out half your teaching load, so you have time to work together, deliberate, and talk with other practitionersA sort of apprenticeship... AKMA 2003-09-08T13:37:07-06:00 http://disseminary.org/seminar/wabash/archives/000710.html Welcome, all, to the weblog that can perpetuate some of our conversations from this year’s Teaching and Technology Conference. I’m gradually adding everyone as an author, so that you can add you own entries to this log. I’ll email everyone with details. In the meantime, we’ll dress up the site a little and add some of the materials that our groups generated during the conference.... AKMA 2003-09-07T11:37:06-06:00
