The first session I attended at ThatCamp Digital Pedagogy was about quelling digital panic in the college classroom. Here are my notes:
- Almost every student has a smart phone.
- How do we engage student in classroom with so many distractions?
- Shared Google Docs are a possible solution, but I have had mixed results with them.
- How do we get students to buy into doing shared notes?
- What is role of learning disabilities in this panic?
- Google Doc for digital behaviour norms in classroom on first day of class? Cool idea!
- Texting/social media break midway through class?
- How do we teach digital citizenship?
- Have students research terms of service/privacy of social networks.
- I could do an entire semester of ENG101 on this...
- Shared class Tumblr.
