I'd love advice from people at more productive and better organized programs: How to do more with less. How to navigate occasionally conflicting expectations -- what students want, what colleagues want, what audiences want, what employers want. How to help students integrate what's happening i...

We're in the midst of a major curriculum change (and have been for years!) and I'm looking for ways to weave new media skills into traditional courses like Newswriting and Reporting. I'm also interested in how other profs are using blogging. I've used blogging in a couple of my classes and it's worked...

As a new faculty member, I know a fair amount about digital media, but not so much about teaching. Most resources I can find, including my wonderful faculty mentor, are more about how to grade or lead a thoughtful discussion. That's a good start, but how do I draw out students' creativity? How do I manag...

As a very recent transplant from a newsroom, I would like to learn from other recovering professional journalists how you translated the multimedia skills you gained in the field to the classroom. I have some experience with multi-media storytelling as a reporter, but had so much support from real...

I'm excited about being amongst other faculty members facing the same issues. For me, I'm ready to absorb how everyone traverses the many political landmines, speed bumps and trap doors of Ze Academy. As a new faculty members, I'm eager to learn about how folks make things happen. And, yes, I'm h...

You might be thinking I will be all teaching and no learning. But you would be mistaken if you thought that! Every time I go into a newsroom or talk with educators from other journalism programs and schools, I always learn something new. One of the greatest benefits for me of attending AEJMC every summe...

Id really like to know the specifics of how other participants are going about incorporating multimedia in a technical sense into newswriting courses (especially for faculty who may not be the most technically literate). Im also always looking for new in-class exercises and assignments. Though...

We are strictly a journalism program, no advertising/pr/comm. Historically, whether print or broadcast, our students have taken the same first two years of core journalism courses. We're hopeful that this will make for relatively smooth transition to incorporating multimedia into the progra...

I think more than anything, I want to feel more confident in my technological abilities and how to teach it. Even though I may know aspects of Flash and Final Cut, I am not an expert. I guess I want to commiserate and gain confidence so I don't always feel like Professor Bumblefingers up there....

Sue · Sue

I'll admit it. I'm someone who still has trouble with a VCR. But I'm also a true believer in what new technologies can mean for journalism. As the managing editor of a newspaper, I lived through much of the changes. I saw the hard parts - shrinking staff, declining resources, do more with less. But I al...

I would imagine many of you have been teaching longer than I have. (Although I got my PhD in Lit in 1980 I bailed out of academia for public broadcasting, and only made the return trip last year.) Pedagogy has changed dramatically in the past decades and you could help me avoid re-inventing dome wheel...

This has already been a learning experience for me. Those of us teaching at small universities often think we're the only ones struggling to keep up with the lingo, links and mojo methods. Sounds like a universal rant. Whew. [BTW. This is a test post. I am one of those disenfranchised members who can't...

Scott · Scott

I hope to be inspired and motivated by the successes (and reassured by the challenges) shared as we discuss our efforts to integrate multi-media skills in the curriculum. And I hope to come back with a notebook full of tips, assignments, strategies and other practical hands-on stuff that I can put to...

I think online technology is unusual because a lot of engaging content can be created with cheap or free software/Internet tools. I look forward to hearing about ways that other educators creatively avoid excessive production costs.

Like Jim, I am a technoklutz.

rbraseth · rbraseth

I look forward to hearing and sharing experiences with my colleagues. I'd like to learn from them any lessons they have learned. I've like to avoid making more mistakes by knowing what others have already done. And while this may come off sounding like a brown-nose move, I so look forward to learning f...

Though I'm an enthusiastic teacher and learner, I fear that I'll be getting far more than I give. Though I am a decent teacher, I am relatively inept with technology beyond the basics of PowerPoint and some print-related software. I hope to learn technical skills and philosophical points that will e...
