Riassunto

Welcome to Digital Literacies for Human Connection, an abundantly useful cornucopia of activities and assignments you can try in your classroom, paired with clear and critical concepts that inspire those activities.

This book is full of practical suggestions and approaches for writing and literacy instructors. Each chapter focuses on an element of digital literacy and a specific classroom activity to deepen students' understanding of it. The concepts--which address generative AI, social media, and other emerging technologies--can be taught alongside the activities to help students critically reflect on technologies in meaningful and engaging ways.

Scholars have long argued for more explicit digital instruction in writing courses. This book takes those calls to action as inspiration for pedagogical ideas that instructors can implement. Whether you're new to writing and/or digital literacies instruction, or highly experienced in both, this resource will help you deepen the human side of your digital literacies teaching practices.
