A blog for Ms. Moore’s sections EN 410 Fall 08Teaching with Technology
One out of every four classes per week I use for teaching writing. With the advent of an experimental classroom for technology, I have reserved the room several times and tried various writing exercises. Once I used the flat screen t.v. to show the screens of various students as they explored definitions from the O.E.D. Since the definitions were relatively short, the class could see a significant portion of the definitions. Another time students had written translations into English of poems in their first language, if other than English, or in the foreign language they were studying; they had displayed the poems side by side on their pages; becuase of the limited screen size, we could not fit the whole text on the screen in a font that anyone could read from their seats. This made our discussion of possible word choices more difficult since we could not see either version whole as we debated the choices. As always with technology, both discussions focused on a wall screen; the conversation became to the screen rather than to the students — a “t.v. in the classroom” feature that always makes me hesitant to use too often.
