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.

I will have a larger overview post up later when I have more time, but here are my notes from the first session at our first ThatCamp here at BCC:

How does texting in classroom change pedagogy?
How much of technological consumption is passive versus active? How does that change how students engage?
Should there be questions about the infallibility of the databases we expect our students to use?
Students need to know how to make a basic MLA paper template.
They also need to know how to backup their work. Where is that taught?
Should the MLA template be submitted and assessed? (This is a great idea)
What about accessibility issues?
Students need to know what a URL is!
There needs to be a logic to file naming for both professor and student.
