The group reading “Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom” will be meeting in less than an hour, and I’d like pull together a quick agenda for the meeting. This round, group members volunteered to read and then post notes on an assigned chapter. People chose to post them in several place:
- Chapter 4: Designing Syllabi – Randy Nichols (blog post)
- Chapter 5: Designing Classroom Activities – Libi Sunderman (Google Slides; login required)
- Chapter 6: Managing Classroom Activities – Rebecca Disrud (Google Slides; login required)
- Chapter 7: Creating Digital Assignments – Nicole Blaire (Google Slides; login required)
- Chapter 8: Evaluating Student Work – Alex Miller (Google Doc; login required)
This months discussion will examine the life cycle of student learning experiences that engage with Digital Humanities practices.
We obviously have way more to talk about than we have time, so I thought we’d organize the conversation this way:
- Round robin of chapter discussion leaders:
- What was one of the main takeaways you’d like to share with the group?
- What questions you would like to discuss with the group?
- Discussion of questions/points raised during round robin.
- White board activity: What is one thing you’ll do different as a result of the reading?
- If time permits, considering question: What does design process for syllabi and/or assignments look like? How best to incorporate these practices?
