I presented Hybrid Pedagogy: A Digital Journal of Teaching & Technology, a journal that I co-edit with Jesse Stommel at Marylhurst University. We are encouraging digital pedagogues to join our community by reading, joining our discussion, and submitting articles. We will also be hosting Hybrid Pedagogy THAT Camp in Portland, OR, this October.

QR Codes as Poetry?

A poetry project using QR codes. A series of stickers, to be placed in public places.

“I [QR Code] U”
This is the first group of stickers — Currently “in progress”, these stickers link to a series of short videos inspired by QR code technology.
velcrocupcakes.com

“I tried…”
The next batch of stickers will use QR codes to represent absent or unspeakable language…
* “I tried to say ‘I love you’, but all that came out was [QR Code]”
* “I tried to say ‘I’m sorry’, but all that came out was [QR Code]”

The QR code stands for the unspeakable — both the promise of augmented reality (if you scan the code… what wonders might await you…) and an absence in the present moment (in the phrases above, the QR code might be read as… “this”, “nothing”, “blah”).

This project is currently in progress, and will be presented this summer at the 2012 Electronic Literature Organization Conference Media Arts Exhibit. (el.eliterature.org/)

As a part of my work as an anthropologist doing research on the nature of academic work on behalf of the Atkins Library, I collect photo diaries from students. I’ve got three semesters worth of pictures taken by students, and will continue to collect these photos. I want to put together an archive/exhibit of these materials using Omeka, so that these pictures can be a resource not just for UNCC, but also for anyone interested the details of student life and academic work. I’d love help thinking about how to organize these materials so that they can be useful, as well as ideas for what other kinds of materials I should be thinking about including in the archive.

Tweeting TV- I would love to have deeper/critical conversations on television. Folks suggested a 2nd hashtag, in addition to the show tags that networks promote. I’m also interested in keeping my twitter stream clean of a series of embarrassing TV Tweets 🙂 Thoughts on avenues that can be used to quarantine such tweets and promote the hashtag among scholars? Repository for the storify stories of these tweets? #ctv? #crit?
