Just another day at the office
Working for HASTAC has it's perks. Today's Presidential announcement about National Lab Day was the culmination of several frantic months of percolating, planning, wondering, worrying, creating, and kvetching. And it was all worthwhile to see the big public launch of this incredible strategic initiative to improve education and address global challenges

The challenge:
What would our research, technology design, and thinking look like if we took seriously the momentous opportunities and challenges for learning posed by our digital era? What happens when we stop privileging traditional ways of organizing knowledge (by fields, disciplines, and majors or minors) and turn attention instead to alternative modes of creating, innovating, and critiquing that better address the interconnected, interactive global nature of knowledge today, both in the classroom and beyond?

What We're Doing--and Why
What was different about HASTAC from other Digital Humanities organizations in 2002 is we were about the first organization to embrace Web 2.0 and social media as learning platforms. We immediately grasped the idea that technology as an affordance would always be limited, but thinking and working together, even across boundaries and especially across boundaries, would allow us to blow old and stale and partial paradigms out of the water. . . .
About 5000 unique visitors each week come read and write and think along with us now at HASTAC so something is happening here, and we know the HASTAC Scholars are among the leaders in a new way of rethinking what we do and how we can think and learn together.
