Getting Ready for Teaching this Fall Lee Skallerup Bessette 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. 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: 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 — Dr. Lee Skallerup Bessette (@readywriting) August 2, 2018 Please share your suggestions in the comments!
