Getting Ready for Teaching This Fall

How is it already MID-AUGUST?!?!?!

I just got back from Digital Pedagogy Lab, a week full of people sharing resources that can be implemented in our classes, if we start thinking about it [looks at calendar - weeps] now. But in order of ease, here are some things to get you started thinking about your teaching in the (sigh) fall.

We’re sorry. Something went wrong.

Syllabus:

  • Do your students do public, digital projects? Ever thought of thought of having them sign a release? You should, and Jade Davis explains why and shares her model.
  • Sara Goldrick-Rab shares her syllabus statement on Basic Needs Security and why it’s important to include.

Thinking about “non-traditional” students:

  • This recent piece from Vox gives some useful data on engaging students from lower-socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • Reminder: Active Learning Helps First-Gen Students.
  • Also consider the risks of asking students to write in public, like Dreamers, by Annemarie Perez.

Incorporating Digital Literacy:

ADVERTISEMENT

  • New open-source textbook: Choosing & Using Sources: A Guide to Academic Research
  • I’m going to keep promoting Mike Caulfield’s book - Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers - and his project - Project Newspapers on Wikipedia.


Want to talk to students about the currently digital landscape? We have resources! https://t.co/qnhmFJAJXw and https://t.co/FPzqxWFqbg and https://t.co/M3TTU2PF9X #dpl2018 #digped @DigPedLab
