Virginia Woolf, Eliot and technology in the classroom

Posted in music, Woolf Courses, Woolf online, tagged , , , , , , on Wednesday 30 January 2013| Leave a Comment »

Several Virginia Woolf/Modernism-related items here, all gleaned from Facebook friends who teach Woolf in the college classroom.

  • Elisa Kay Sparks and her students are building an iPad app called WoolfPlace that will provide maps, histories, references, pictures, links and videos for different sites in Woolf’s life and works.
  • Anne Fernald’s students are blogging about Woolf as part of the undergraduate Woolf elective course Fernald is teaching at Fordham University this spring. You can find their posts at 3504 Woolf. Fernald kicked off the course by playing Florence and the Machine’s “What the Water Gave Me.”
  • Also from Fernald is the news that Faber has launched a new “Wasteland” app that includes the full text of the poem, a variety of audio readings (including two by T.S. Eliot himself, and one by Viggo Mortensen), plus a video rendition.

Add this site to the Woolf list

Posted in 21st century Woolf, Woolf Courses, Woolf online, tagged , , on Monday 13 September 2010| Leave a Comment »

Dr. Elisa Kay Sparks of Clemson University is celebrating her first Virginia Woolf Seminar by creating a new website, one that generously shares her original images, notes and presentations.

The clean-looking well-designed site is illustrated with her woodcuts and other prints. It includes updated links, including those to her teaching materials, illustrated PowerPoints, and extensive, partially annotated bibliographies for everything she teaches in the class. Resources will be added as the term goes on.

Sparks says she intends the site to be a collection point for her Woolf resources — and as such, “a giant gift to the Woolf community.”

What a wonderful gift it is.
