When teaching a course a few years back, I assigned a group project that asked students to use Google Earth to explore processes of development and change on Atlanta’s two most historic corridors, Auburn Avenue and Peachtree Street.  Notwithstanding minor difficulties, the assignment went well, but I did suspect that it might be worthwhile to consider using other tools when teaching the course in the future.  Since then, I’ve attended a handful of workshops offered by ECDS, but wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to consider digital pedagogy in a systematic way.  In particular, I’m interested in developing interactive syllabi, and becoming better acquainted with tools that allow students to tell stories using mixed media and tools that explore spatial relationships in urban environments.
