F242. Computers in My Classes: A Pedagogy Roundtable on Workshopping (with) the Digital

Room 200 D&E, Level 2
Friday, April 10, 2015
3:00 pm to 4:15 pm

 

From entire courses devoted to building collaborative, computational, and interactive literature to traditional workshops that incorporate apps, tools, or games only briefly, computers offer writer-teachers many opportunities beyond Internet research and social media. How might we make the most of the Digital in our classes? In this exploratory session with an extended Q&A, panelists will share approaches and discuss challenges, including questions about evaluation and varying technical expertise.
