Collaboration – THATCamp Digital Pedagogy 2014 http://digped2014.thatcamp.org The Humanities and Technology Camp Wed, 18 Jun 2014 22:09:44 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 Teaching Tool Tag http://digped2014.thatcamp.org/2014/06/17/teaching-tool-tag/ Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:56:59 +0000 http://digped2014.thatcamp.org/?p=290

Have a favorite digital/content creation tool in your classroom bag?

Need hive-mind level help to address a problem with technology?

Play Tool Tag.

Rules: you have to share or ask, and you have to keep it short.

Share: name the tool, tell us how to get the tool (free is good), explain what it’s good for, share an example (links/sites are great) if you have one. Easy-to-learn tools are best.

Ask: pose a problem. Describe the problem, ask if anyone has a tech tool that kills it instantly or something you think might work but that maybe you don’t enough about to be sure.

Syllabi for “Intro to DH” (and related) courses http://digped2014.thatcamp.org/2014/05/29/syllabi-for-intro-to-dh-and-related-courses/ Thu, 29 May 2014 16:12:54 +0000 http://digped2014.thatcamp.org/?p=217

Many of us are just now getting the opportunity to teach courses centered around digital methods for reading and writing. This session aims to give participants a space to discuss key primary and secondary texts, possible assignments, specific lessons/tools, and other topics relevant to designing a course in “DH” (& any related field).

My own particular course for Fall 2014 (“OMG #Literature: Reading in the Digital Age”) will enroll first-semester college freshmen, but I am interested in discussing content, mining existing syllabi online for ideas, and producing multiple drafts of syllabi that would be appropriate a wide variety of student populations in a variety of disciplines. Insight from those who have already taught such courses is especially welcome, as are people who are planning to teach these courses in the future, including those on the job market who feel that developing courses like these will help them in their searches.
