ISU Scholars Collaborative Partnership
Open to all ISU faculty and graduate students.
Post Graduate Opportunity
NYU Postdoctoral and Transition Program for Academic Diversity
The Program
New York University (NYU) is dedicated to ensuring that its scholarly community is ready to compete in a global world and is enriched by individuals who, through their different races and ethnicities, gender identities, age, abilities, political beliefs, economic status, and sexual orientation, contribute to an intellectually challenging and inclusive educational environment. To that end, NYU has created the NYU Postdoctoral and Transition Program for Academic Diversity fellowship program to support promising scholars and educators from different backgrounds, races, ethnic groups, and other diverse groups whose life experience, research experience, and employment background will contribute significantly to academic excellence at NYU.
Eligibility
The fellowship program is open to all areas of study at the University U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are from the following three categories may apply:
1. Graduate students in the final year of their dissertation
2. Postdoctoral students who have completed their dissertation within the last three years
3. Professionals transitioning to academic careers (for those in fields for which the doctorate is not the terminal degree)
Awards
NYU will award up to five in-residence fellowships in 2010. The two-year appointments, which begin September 2010 and end August 2012, have a possibility of a third-year extension. Graduate students in the final year of their dissertation must make significant progress toward the dissertation. Fellows teach a maximum of one course per semester.
Stipends and Allowances
Fellows receive an annual stipend of $40,000 as well as allowances for housing ($20,000), research ($2,000), and one-time relocation ($3,000). The University also provides a medical and dental benefits package.
Application Procedure
Required application materials include (1) a fellowship application; (2) a curriculum vitae; (3) a statement of research and goals; (4) a personal statement detailing the reasons for applying for the fellowship; (5) three letters of reference from individuals familiar with your scholarly or creative work; and (6) one of the following: a dissertation abstract (postdoctoral applicants), a dissertation proposal (doctoral students), or a statement of how your professional experience prepares you for a faculty position (professionals). Incomplete submissions will not be accepted.
All materials must be received by November 30, 2009. Applications will be reviewed as they are received.
Awards will be announced on February 15, 2010.
The fellowship application and instructions for submission are available here.

Technology in Schools - a rebuttal
In response to a colleagues comment regarding technology in the schools: “there are many practical and efficient ways to use technology and note that various classroom applications are consistent with what is currently known about effective learning experiences”, there is another side that warrants examination. I would like to approach the subject from a “devil’s advocate” position and examine the issues of technical effectiveness in the schools from the point of view of the technician rather th… Continue

Technology in the classroom - a discussion
There has been much discussion regarding the use of technology, particularly computers, in the classroom. The research has taken us on a tour of global social issues such as the achievement gap, the school resource gap, the gender gap in technology, science and mathematics, and yet, the research is still inconclusive as to the effectiveness of computers in regards to learning. We are often reminded that computers are simply another form of educational tool which can be used in the development of… Continue

Where are we going with technology?
In 1957, Marshall McLuhan, a noted educational futurist stated the following:
It’s natural today to speak of “audio and visual aids” to teaching, for we still think of the book as the norm, of other media as incidental. We also think of the new media – press, radio, movies, TV – as MASS MEDIA & think of the book as an individualistic form. Individualistic because it isolated the reader in silence & helped create the Western “I.” Yet it was the first product of mass production.

Featured Graduate Student Scholarship Opportunities with ISU Faculty
Research Opportunity! Dr. Tinnerman will be needing graduate students in the near future to participate in a project involving the production of a video highlighting the use of collaboration tools in a face to face classroom setting. Research aids will help in video editing and helping with the coordination of the staging. Please see Dr. Tinnerman if you are willing to help. Participation will also give you the opportunity to co-author and article on the process.

Entry into positions of higher education is becoming an increasing competitive undertaking. Students finishing their doctoral work should also have taken the opportunity to begin their professional portfolio… this portfolio is often used by employers to determine the potential for scholarly activity on the part of the applicant. Many students leave their program of study with only their dissertation in hand. During the graduate years exists an excellent opportunity to present at conferences, publish in peer reviewed journals; collaborate with faculty in publication and research. All too often, graduate students do not take advantage of this opportunity nor do they realize the necessity of a research agenda when they apply for higher education jobs.
