HI, Jim Thanks for the posting. I would be VERY interested to hear from some one who is using new media to improve the performance of his students, with measurable results. Iıd like to see some assignments, hear how some one is actually using new (or established) media to help students learn more efficiently. Iıd like to see projects our faculty have done using the software machinima. And Iım ESPECIALLY interested in learning how to add gaming to my classes. Has anyone used gamemaking software, or devised games by other means? If so, how do the games work, and do you find improved student performance by using games? Thanks Janet Dr. J.

What would you like to talk about? Thanks. The advertisement of the day... Many of you probably have at least heard of Flickr (www.flickr.com). A colleague of mine, Gardner Campell uses it in his New Media Studies course. You can see his Course Description at: http://www.gardnercampbell.net/syllabi/index.php?title=Introduction_to_New_M edia_Studies You can see his studentıs use of Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/visualstory/ This is a new use of technology that seems to really engage students. Let me know if you want to know more about this. Mr. James B.
