Funny name, serious thinking. This weekend finds me at THATCamp, an event conceived at GMU's Center for History and New Media. Short for “The Humanities And Technology Camp”, THATCamp is a BarCamp-style, user-generated “unconference” on digital humanities. The idea is that a bunch of people get together and bring ideas they want to hash out. There are 75 people here from all over the world, all wanting to discuss New Media and the humanities. Right now, we're working on figuring out what sessions will make the schedule. Then it becomes a more conventional conference, with sessions and conversations on a variety of topics.
What interests me is the dozen or so sessions on technology and teaching. I'll be back with more once we've settled on the sessions and I get an idea what today will be like.
GAH- so sad to have missed this opportunity!
