She did a co-presentation with Instructional Technologist Dr. Mara Linaberger on "Avatars as Historical Inquiry" related to the AbrahamLincoln Project. This presentation included an overview of AbrahamLincoln Magic, a SecondLife incarnation of our 16th US President, exploring art and web 2.0 technologies to enhance and enrich historical inquiry. She used [|Skype] technology which allowed Art Education student Tyler Stauffer to present to the audience from her office (while she presented in Hershey, PA).//

"Wikispaces in the Classrooom"
Over the course of the 2008-2009 school year, we have learned and have been implementing the Wiki technology in our classes and our research. During the presentation we will explain how we've used Wikis to learn material in our classes and how it can be used to collaborate as well as share information with others. The implications of this new knowledge has changed the way technology can be used in the classroom and beyond.
 * Art Education students Tyler Stauffer and Meredith Stalker presented, "Wiki Spaces in the Classroom" at the 3rd annual C-Cue Student Technology Forum held on March 20, 2009 at Edinboro University.
 * The summary of the presentation is available at the following wiki space: http://tstauffer.wikispaces.com/C-Cue+Student+Technology+Forum
 * Their work (created in the Art Education program and in courses) was presented to over 25 people from various universities and colleges. It included an overview of wikis, how the art education students were creating e-portfolios in their methods course along with other wiki content. They used Skype technology that allowed them to present to a group of Pittsburgh area arts educators simultaneously. This was the first time the Art Education program conducted a presentation viewed in two places at once. Camille Nischal had traveled to Pittsburgh on the same day to assist with a federal grant art teacher training for 25+ people and facilitated the presentation so that the group could watch it and discuss the use of technology in presenting. The program’s next adventure will be doing live streaming of conference events so that anyone can view them live via the internet.
