Pinter & Pedagogy: Integrating the Arts Across the Curriculum
Mary Avrakotos
Works of art, both classical and contemporary, vividly explore many of the same themes and issues that faculty and students investigate in the classroom. For several years, ARTSwego has encouraged the wider inclusion of campus arts presentations as a creative element of course syllabi in a variety of disciplines.

Student Grant Workshop: Helping Students Prepare for SCAC Grants
Target audience: students who would like to know how to write a grant:
How to write a SCAC grant? What can be funded? How to obtain the IRB approval if you will do research on human subjects? How to write a fundable grant? Those are just a few of the questions that will be addressed in this workshop.
Frank Byrne and Kristen Munger will address these issues in this workshop.
Screencasting
Want to share what is on your computer with your students? Have complex processes or software where demonstrating these to students would be helpful? Want to add audio, video, and the use of other applications to your Powerpoint presentation? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then screencasting will be useful to you. Screencasting is, in short, capturing your computer’s screen and any other inputs such as audio from a microphone or video from a webcam. Screencasts can then be produced in a file format that can be hosted online or in Angel.
Learning in Virtual Worlds
In fall 2008, John Kane and Greg Ketcham began exploring classroom use of Second Life using borrowed space on the Monroe Community College island and virtual land that was purchased by John Kane. At the end of the spring 2008 semester, SUNY-Oswego acquired an island in Second Life. This island is now fully open for instructional use.
Some of the facilities available for classroom use include:
An art gallery (currently containing an exhibition of some of Richard Zakin's newest work):
Secrets Revealed: Research Program Development and Grant Writing
Jack Gelfand, Maria Nakamura, and Linda Cook from the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP), will be joined by a panel of faculty who have had success in research and grant writing. They will discuss how the ORSP can help faculty in finding grant opportunities and successful strategies for getting grants from both internal and external sources.
Implementing Service Learning in the Classroom
Find out about why service learning can make the difference in a student’s life! There will be a discussion with current faculty members using service learning in their courses. We will be covering the benefits of service learning, ways to use it in courses and some ways to begin the process of implementing it into curriculum.
Getting Started in Second Life
This workshop will provide an orientation to Second Life for those that are relatively new to this virtual world. The morning discussion will focus on:
- creating an avatar and customizing your avatar appearance,
- navigation in Second Life,
- communication using chat, IM, note cards, and voice chat, and
- interesting examples of educational builds in Second Life.
The afternoon session will:
- address specific interests of the participants, and
- introduce basic building skills.
