Oregon Technology in Education Network, Wise Uses of Technology Conference

Subject	Speaker/Title	Topic Summary
Language Arts	Catherine Collins Willamette University Making a Movie for the Rhetoric Classroom	The Rhetoric and Media Studies Department received a mini-grant to purchase a digital camera, buy a copy of Final Cut Pro, and obtain a site license for Manila. Our presentation will focus on our first department movie (in progress), but we will also hand out information on Manila and Class Tools which we are using in our courses.
Language Arts	Darlene Pagan Pacific University Writing the World with a Lens	Students use the digital cameras to take photos based on a particular theme. Using the photos, students then prepare written text to accompany the photos which may be in the form of dialogue, a script, a presentation, storyboard., etc.
Language Arts	Marty Trammell Western Baptist College Improving Speech through Digital Portfolio Review	Students will be taught how to use digitized samples of their own speeches (digital portfolio) to evaluate their speaking.
Language Arts Writing Kindergarten through adult classes	Kathy Dunbar Concordia Teaching Process Writing	I am creating a CD that shares resources in literature, teaching ideas and strategies, technology, and WEB sites for the teaching of process writing in Kindergarten through university level classrooms. It will look at all 5 areas of process writing (living, getting ideas, writing the first draft, editing, final polished product) for the four Oregon State required writing modes (narrative, imaginative, expository and persuasive). This CD will replace part of my handout packet in my “C & I: Reading and Language Arts” courses.
Social Sciences	Bob Mathisen Western Baptist College Picturing Vietnam: Learning about Vietnam through Videotaped Interviews	With the use of the digital video camera, the student will record visually and audibly an interview with a person from the Vietnam War era. The recorded interviews will then be edited to produce a collage of military and homeland activities of the interviewees. The technology outcome will be the burning of a CD, which each student will take with them from the course, the development of a Website, along with other technology possibilities,
Social Sciences	Caitlin Corning George Fox University Virtual Tours	Using a digital camera and software a QuickTime video of historical sites is being created. This will be shared with students to give them a better idea of what the site is like then can be obtained by using still photos.
Social Sciences	Gerd Horten Concordia Media Propaganda during World War II	Developing a website related to the uses of media and propaganda in the US during WWII.
Social Sciences	Mark Eifler & Elise Moentann University of Portland A Tangled Web	It seemed like such a good idea: set up an undergraduate e-journal, scan images for use in classrooms, and create short historical films. But ROM was not built in a day…
Social Sciences	Sammy Basu Willamette University Death on the Web: teaching a case-based ethics and public policy course using IT and the Internet.	I intend to show my Poli 303 course website and some of the lecture materials and links that I have loaded and used in a wired classroom. My emphasis is on examples that can only be achieved in a very inferior form using conventional methods such as photocopies and overheads.
Language Arts	Jon Orr University of Portland The Website in a Literature Classroom: New Methods for Teacher and Students	I will present the results of my three goals for my OTEN project: build a website for my course in American Realism and Naturalism; post student papers and have them interact with each other; provide the possibility for students to present their research projects as websites. The first has been a partial success; the second a technological failure; the third an exciting opportunity for students that has forced me to rethink what I expect from students. Accompanying me will be a student or two who will demonstrate their research projects and who will talk about the experience of building a research project as a website.
