Ideas for Spring TWITs

Open Source computing--what is open source, where to get open source tools, how to use them, theoretical interests (such as those discussed by job candidate Antonio Cesaro)

Developing CI classes--options for making your class CI, how to increase the level of computer intensity, how to represent computer intensive work in print portfolios (for Revisions)

Using technologies to teach visual communication--activities and assignments, software training

Learning Adobe Illustrator alongside learning about visual layout and design

Web Development series--understanding code, creating "special effects" (like animations, javascript, etc), using templates, i-web, translating web design work into course activities and assignments

Revisiting podcasting & audio analysis

Developing effective presentations that incorporate technology--examples, practical guidelines, technical tips, and software use (Keynote, Powerpoint, web browsers, sound applications, etc.)

Figuring out how technology tools might be useful for helping students create their research papers (and for teaching research papers)

Blogging with Word Press--Gowtham would like to do a TWIT on this topic

How to stay up to date on developments in digital culture and practice--where to look, things to read, communities to engage
