Many of us are starting to consider ways of integrating technology into our assignments, like
asking students to digitally annotate a text or make interactive maps of a characters journey. In
this roundtable, we will consider how technology might further our pedagogical aims, and we will
look at a few specific examples of assignments for Great Works classes that use technology
effectively and simply. Well be joined by Dana Milstein (English) and Andrew Lucchesi
(Schwartz Institute). Initial Roundtable: Nov 18, 10:30 - 12 (VC14-270). Follow-up
Workshop: Nov 21, 12:45 - 2 (VC7-205). Contact: drdanamilstein@gmail.com.
