I hope ThatCamp will not only give me great ideas for integrating technology into my pedagogy, but also the technical skills and confidence to do so. On the practical side, I want to learn ways to use WordPress. I teach a collaborative research seminar that uses WordPress as a platform for a bibliographic database that is open to the public, but the collaborative research has always been conducted through Blackboard, public folders, or Moodle. I’d like to use WordPress for organizing, exchanging, and publishing student research projects. On a visionary scale, I would like to explore ways to use digital studies to keep the humanities, especially literary studies, vibrant and relevant today. I’d like someday to help build a “literary lab” or a virtual “writers’ house,” in which students work independently and collaborate to conduct and “publish” their research in innovative ways, using the resources of digital technologies.
