Students, Faculty and Alumni Up the Ante With Technology

Doctoral geography students use GIS to map sin for a conference in Sin City...and get everyone talking Hello Everyone,

My name is Brian Spooner, and I am the new interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. While new to the position of dean, I have been part of this College for almost 40 years, having originally joined the faculty of the Division of Biology in 1971, following a Ph.D. from Temple University continuing contributions to the education and quality of life and postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Washington of all Kansans, the nation, and the world. and Stanford University. Among the array of needs in the modern university are those of technology, which have become critical to a teaching and learning environment, in and out of the classroom. Technology is a fundamental component of the language of “They (students) learn best when students. They learn best when technology is used as a tool and portal to approaches that cannot be created in the classroom. technology is used as a tool and Even though technology is critical for student learning, portal to approaches that cannot be there is a downside for a modern university like K-State. Technology costs are constant and a burden with which we created in the classroom.” struggle. But the investment is well worth it. In this issue, you’ll read about the remarkable things being achieved in our College through the use of technology. As a faculty member, I have been broadly involved in Thank you for supporting the College of Arts and Sciences, teaching, research, and service, with over 38 years of teaching and please stop by to say hello when you are on campus. experience. I oversaw a research program that brought more than $11 million to Kansas State University and produced Best wishes, more than 100 publications. Over the years, I’ve also engaged in many service activities for the university, the state of Kansas, and the nation. My academic rank has moved through promotions from assistant, associate, and full professor to the current title Brian Spooner, dean of University Distinguished Professor. My administrative experience includes having served as director of the Division of Biology for the past 15 years, prior to moving to the Dean’s Office in July 2009. My goals for this year are to increase student success and This issue is printed on 30 percent faculty achievement throughout the College, in the face of recycled-content paper with eco-friendly soy ink. The paper is the ongoing financial crisis, and to position the College for certified by SmartWood to the Forest an improved funding future.

ichael Wesch, assistant professor Mof cultural anthropology, is making quite a name for himself. A nationally lauded authority on the intersection of technology, culture, and education, Wesch’s videos have grabbed the attention of the biggest players in the field. Wired magazine called him “the explainer,” praising his ability to “sum up the power and potential of Web 2.0 in a 271-second video.” National Geographic called him an Emerging Explorer, recognizing his contribution to world knowledge while still early in his career.

K-STATE COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES  President 2.0 New university president connects with K-Staters on campus — and online

ince arriving on campus in May 2009, new K-State president Kirk SSchulz has shaken a lot of hands — no surprise there. But in a time when people connect digitally as much as face-to-face, he’s also establishing a big presence online. Which is just fine by him. A chemical engineer and former vice president at Mississippi State University, this tech-savvy president is ready and willing to hear from K-Staters everywhere. And Schulz — or Kirk, as he asks everyone to call him — knows that social media (such as Twitter and Facebook) can help him reach alumni, faculty and students he might never meet otherwise.

The name of the game was finding magazine to the Catholic News Service statistics they could reasonably link to the sins. to hundreds of blogs. Envy, for instance, was derived from theft statistics. Greed was figured by average incomes compared to the number of people living below the poverty line. Gluttony came from the number of fast food restaurants per capita. And so on. Pride, considered the root of all sin, was drawn from the other six sins combined. “As college students with limited funding, we can’t go and buy huge data sets from the government,” Bergstrom said. “There would have been better variables, yes, but for the time and the funds we had available to us, I thought we did a pretty good job.”

Taking on Vegas As for geographers at the Vegas meeting, they thought the group did more than a “pretty good job.” “They were really excited…it was nonstop,” Bergstrom said. “The AAG found out about it and they were making announcements about it in the expo center.” “People would come up to us saying, ‘We heard that we had to come see the sins maps,’” Vought said. The secret to onlookers’ enthusiasm? “It’s kind of tongue-in-cheek and fun, and it’s a break for people who do this Tom Vought (left) and Ryan hard, serious work all the time,” Bergstrom said.

Going Viral For Vought and Bergstrom, the reaction in Sin City was more than enough. They were even interviewed by a reporter for the Las Vegas Sun. But they never expected what came next. Within 48 hours, the story in the Sun spread like wildfire, getting picked up by an international blog service and quickly going viral in the blogosphere. “When I was traveling back home, I got a text message saying it had hit the Internet, and it was already on hundreds of blogs,” Vought said.

But whether taken what is gis? seriously or less so, it certainly got people talking.

And actually, that has been very helpful, tabular data that describes the area because we’ve always said that this is just in the initial stages.” mapped,” Vought said. “You have a map Bergstrom echoed Vought’s sentiments. and you can query parts of that map to “In some capacity or another, we plan to keep going with it.

Technology in Tune Music students, faculty turn technology into better learning, teaching and performing

rom hollowed-out bone pipes to electronic drum machines, musicians Fhave always molded technology for their own purposes. Faculty in the K-State Department of Music, working collaboratively, give students an edge by using free, widely available technology in extraordinarily effective ways. Music education students create electronic portfolios to document their understanding of professional teaching standards. Student teachers get immediate faculty support to become stronger educators. And all music students have the chance to learn from the world’s very best artists.

12 CONNECTIONS — WINTER 2009 Teaching Feedback — Anytime, Anywhere Student teaching is the capstone experience for up-and-coming teachers, and K-State faculty regularly travel to districts all over the state to supervise their students in person. However, time and distance can really hamper a supervising faculty member’s ability to help solve a pressing classroom problem, particularly if the student isn’t due for an on-site visit for a while. Answer: simple, readily available videoconferencing technology on Apple computers that allows a faculty member to watch a student teach in real time, and then talk about it immediately afterward. “Students can call us or email us and say, ‘I’m having trouble with this class, can you watch me tomorrow?’” Burrack said. “The laptops are Macs with the camera built in. The student sets the Mac up in front of himself or herself, or in the back of the classroom. We watch the student teach online, then when the lesson is over, the classroom teacher takes over the class, the student takes the Music students, faculty turn technology into better laptop into another room, and we have a face-to-face discussion, right away.
