This opportunity is offered electronically to gather information on different games that can be used in teaching literature, languages, and writing. Some of the games are not done digitally but others focus around teaching with video games or social networks. Virtual worlds and spatial games (foursquare, geocaching, ect) will also be used as a teaching method. Selection of people who will be asked to present their findings will be based on different styles of classrooms, student experiences, successes, and failures.

This blog is about how to teach digital editions more like a seminar. Digital editions are about pedagody, culture preservation, and interpreting. She uses this term as a broader Digital Humanities method to create a network that uses interpretive knowledge and connected skills to reach a certain audience. By making this teaching more like a graduate seminar students are able to contribute more to the class because they will be more easily self-motivated. Students will understand that there is one instructor and that they contribute to their project while also remembering who the audience is.

Dene Grigar developed a way to allow digital media scholars to combine their work from different areas of studies. She found that it helped scholars work together and easily understand other's work. This program gives hands on experience for students that teach them that creating a website is more in depth and can potentially impact the modern society. They also need to understand that each students background is combined and implemented with different teaching methods to create a digital media course.

5100 college professors took a survey about their attitudes to the digital approach to technology. Some interesting facts and comments were about using e-books and about 1/3 of professors are giving students access to this. One statistic was about 47% regularly use videos or similations in their course, 36% use it occasionallyand the rest never use any videos when teaching. Professors who teach online and blended courses give their students two times the advantage of other students who are not taught online courses.

This article focuses on collaborative teaching in a classroom and uses Twitter to have a discussion. Usually teaching is done by one person which henders the collaborative work of the teachers and discourages collaborative between students.

This article is about a professor who's notion of digital humanities infuses technology with their writing, publishing, and pedagogy. She revised her old teaching philosophy of a pedagological approach to having an editorial pedagogy that helped her with editing, teaching, and administrating in a digital humanities world.

In the beginning of his teaching career him and a coworker created a paperless class that forced students to turn in assignments online; eventually turning it into a fully online course. Educational technology classrooms are created worldwide to use new modern ways to teach.

He leaves the readers with many questions about how to make the information accessible and accurate across the internet.

This blogger was asked to create a website over the papers she had been digitizing. Creating a website entailed knowing how to code it, which she had to learn. Her study shows that having the students build a website adds to their learning process and gives them new ways to think. It also allows the students to collaborate with their teachers that can further engage their research process by adding new questions or finding multiple audiences. The future of Digital Humanities lies within the graduate students and how they are being trained so that they can find better and easier ways to teach the younger generation.

A Chief Ranger of a historical site and a digital media specialist collaborate together to create a class that discusses mobile media design and digital storytelling. The students also visit a historical site weekly and discuss the history of the village during the Fur Trade Era. Special guests are also included in the teachings such as archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians that know more about the history during this era.

This blog is over a first year teachers proposal to teach a writing course that is digitally based. By teaching this way allows for students to focus more on analyzing, archiving, and transforming into a more modern method. Instead of composing through a word documents, students will use the XML program which does not tell any computer what to do with the information. This program requires students to describe what they are doing as they do it. It also allows students to see all of their editing work and has other advantages that Word does not.

A professor used her Women's Studies class as a way to test out the use of digital humanities in the undergraduate classroom. The assignment was to create an online archive of every issue of the feminist magazine "Conditions" as well as a presentation over the issue they chose. In doing so, they were required to scan in every page of the magazine and edit them on computer to fit together uniformly. At the end of the assignment period, she submitted the archive into the "Lesbian Poetry Archive" for public viewing and use. Through working on this archive, she became convinced that the PDF format will continue to be the main format for converting physical documents into the digital medium. This is due to the format being almost universal in digital humanities and the likelihood of it continuing to be a relevant file format for many years to come.

Online discussion also allow students to read all the information before saying a comment so that they have listened and taken in everything that has been said. In a classroom she suggest to divide the class into three groups that consist of "first responders," "arguers," and "consensus builders." Also she wants to teach social citation that requires students to cite posts from other students which they support. Online learning also allows students who are afraid to speak up in class to discuss without feeling embarrassed.

This guide is for teachers who face the challenge of teaching digitally in K-12 and how it can be used in a creative and collaborative way. Collaboration comes from the students and other teachers and needs to be incorporated into digital teaching so that they can learn from each other. Administrators need to be fully knowledgable about new technology so they can show the teachers who then show the students. They also want to create more study groups with digital tools for the students to collaborate more with each other.

This blog addresses the challenges with scholarly research that are faced when discussing 18th and 19th British women writers. One challenge is that how is it decided what information is being included in the archive and how accurate is it. Not all digital archives have equal access; this gives a disadvantage for people's research because they do not have access to all the information they need. She answers how to make digital humanities more accurate and how it can be used in a classroom through many different professors prospectives.
