IT Centers at Curry
The Curry Center for Technology and Teacher Education, established by IT faculty in concert with faculty from other disciplines, has served as a catalyst for a number of national initiatives. These include establishment of the National Technology Leadership Coalition (NTLC), a consortium of national teacher educator associations representing the core content areas in science, mathematics, English and social studies. NTLC serves as sponsor of an annual National Technology Leadership Summit (NTLS) held at the Library of Congress each year, and provides editorial oversight for the peer-reviewed journal, Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE).
The Virginia Center for Digital History allows students to learn history by doing history as a historian would. For example, the Valley of the Shadow: Two Communities in the Civil War takes two communities, one Northern and one Southern, through the experience of the American Civil War, creating a social history of the coming, fighting, and aftermath of the Civil War.
Participants in the IT program benefit from proximity to an unprecedented range of innovative technologies in every discipline. The Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities showcases leading edge work by more than 50 scholars in history, literature, architecture, European culture, Asian culture, linguistics, art, film, and cultural studies.
