Talk Session Proposal by Jennifer Ahern-Dodson and Aria Chernik

Digital pedagogy does not denote merely the practice of “teaching with technology.” Similar to Jesse Stommel’s notion of hybrid pedagogy, we understand digital pedagogy to be an orientation toward sustained, critical reflection on how emergent technology and digital culture fundamentally transform not only where we teach and learn but also the kinds of knowledge we can produce. Digital pedagogy embraces the freeplay and indeterminacy of intellectual rigor and is not defined by the use of discrete classroom practices or digital tools. We propose a session in which participants articulate the affordances of digital pedagogy and knowledge and strategize about how we can productively reach out to colleagues and promote institutional change to embrace and facilitate these affordances.
