Cawthon Receives LIFT Award
Dr. Stephanie Cawthon selected as a receipient of the 2011-12 Longhorn Innovation Fund for Technology (LIFT) Award for her proposal entitled "Bridging the Gap in Arts Integration Theory and Practice: A 'Crowdsourcing' Approach to Digital Resource Development for Texas Educators."
Drawing from strengths already present on campus, this proposal seeks to increase the level of arts integration resources available to UT students. The purpose of the project is twofold: (a) to provide K-12 pre-service and in-service teachers innovative instructional videos in drama-based instruction and (b) to capitalize on social networking capabilities to disseminate and build resources through a “crowdsourcing” approach to media development. Together, the two phases of this project will create a dynamic technology-based resource to serve the current and future teachers of our state and nation.
