It's Not About the Tools: Weaving Digital Humanities into Literature CoursesSan Jose State University
In line with the first Mellon planning grant goal (" To learn about best practices for digital humanities teaching in the liberal arts context"), I will focus on in-class learning strategies using (or not) digital tools to engage with Digital Humanities. During the Fall semester, I blogged for WW Norton Publishers (http://www.fairmatter.com/katherine-harris/) about two traditional literature courses that I converted into Digital Humanities courses by employing open access tools as well as digital literary media. I walked into many of the class meetings and asked students to go off and do something -- as a test to see how many of them were truly "digital natives." Some of the digital tools were incredibly helpful while others were not. Twitter and tweeting as a character was one of their favorite assignments by far; not far behind was creating a pastiche from a ripped up novel and then posting that pastiche to their blogs.

For ELLs to succeed, ESL teachers must wear three hats. They must provide systematic English language development, content support, and be advocates and experts. This session will explore all three roles, offering practical tips and resources for each.
Conversation exchanges between students who are learning each other’s native language help students gain authentic skills in the target language, and provide invaluable linguistic and intercultural learning. This presentation examines best practices for establishing and growing a successful conversation exchange program at an academic institution.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Greetings and Welcome
5. What are the
characteristics of
an ideal 21st
graduate? What
should (s)he know
and be able to do?
What do you think?
infographic from:
http://www.ncpapa.org
15. A driving question
These questions need to be carefully crafted !
1. - open ended
2. - give direction for inquiry
3. - cultural questions about deeper cultural viewpoints and values
are often great!
a. - For example: what do "target culture" individuals/people
groups believe is important about _____ ?
b. - "What do French-speaking Canadians believe about their
own distinct cultural identity within Canada? How are their
values expressed in their literature, their institutions, and
the ways they express their identity to each other and to the
rest of Canada? What means do they use to express these
distinctives?"
- students can rise to the challenges presented with such
questions!
16. This naturally flows out of the driving question if it is crafted correctly.
- Students should have some sense of where they are going with their
inquiry.
- They need coaching to think it through, to look for good sources, and
to manage their time and work.
- The teacher's role: coach, guide, reflective questioner
- It is a challenge to remain in the target language,
- Promethean board to demonstrate search techniques, vocabulary to
use.
- I keep favorite links on a class wiki: on-line dictionaries, language
tools and videos
- The wikispace supports our collaboration, another 21st Century skill
A need to know
17. I like to give students the opportunity to choose the platforms they want to
use to demonstrate their learning.
- a video
- a slide show
- a wiki
- I want them to demonstrate both written and spoken French in
response to what they have read and heard in their research.
- choice within a framework
Student voice and choice
18. This is one of the most important outcomes of the PBL model
- as they work together, students will need to learn:
- how to solve problems
- where to look for good information
- how to distinguish good information from bad
- how to confirm their hypothesis before coming to conclusions
- how to test those conclusions
- and more
- It is a big help to pair a class with another one in the target language
culture. This adds another dimension to learning which is of
inestimable value
Inquiry and Innovation
19. Students need help to develop critical thinking and the ability to offer
constructive criticism for improvement of their group's project.
- They will need a protocol for scaffolding their discussions, such as
Critical Friends
- Teach students how to offer critique - it is not intuitive
- Provide sentence starters in the target language to help them stay in
L2 as much as possible.
Feedback and Revision
20. For the PBL model to be complete, students must actually produce
something that can be viewed and understood by another group, an
audience, a community member, and understands the target
language
- we have access L2 communities nearby and online
- I like to include parents when possible
- when parents do not speak the L2, students provide an outline
in their parents' language, so they can follow the presentation
- Parents and community members have the opportunity to offer
feedback and comments on the outline which they return to the
students.
- This approach has been well received by parents and
students
A Publically Presented
Product
21. Since we live in the 21st Century, this makes sense, doesn't it?
- students use technology to do their research,
- opportunities to use technology to demonstrate what they have
learned
- however, we're not using technology simply to use technology!
- technology is a great support to learning, and can be great fun to
show acquired learning and skills, but the tech is not the end point in
itself.
- I let the kids be as creative as they want, but the standards for the
course are based on linguistic proficiencies and cross-cultural
competencies, not technological prowess
21st Century Skills
22. AKA the Four C’s:
o Critical Thinking
o Communication
o Collaboration
o Creativity
PBL offers a great opportunity
to provide students a context
to grow in these skills
Essential 21st Century
Skills
Infographic from Innovation Advancing Education
http://iaetx.com
23. The PBL model allows much room for the
incorporation of language and culture!
- language-based outcomes are shaped by the need to know
- the target culture lies at the heart of the project
- students learn the language of study in connection with the cultures
of the people who speak the language they are studying
- vocabulary and linguistic structures are authentically acquired as
students listen and read in the other language whilst doing their
research and inquiry.
- students practice speaking and writing as they interact with their
group, the teacher and others
- it is especially useful to pair our class with one in the target culture

Example Projects
44. And now -
let's take some
time to begin
making your
own project.
Working in pairs, choose a level and language, a
cultural context, linguistic content, a product, then
build from there using the template.
46. 1) The project meets a real need in the world beyond the
classroom, or the products that students create are used
by real people.
For example:
- Students propose designs for a new play area in a nearby park.
- Students plan and execute an environmental clean-up effort in their
community.
- Students create a website for young people about books they like.
- Students write a guide and produce podcasts for visitors to historic sites in
their county.
- Students serve as consultants to local businesses, advising them on how
to increase sales to young people.
- Students develop a conflict resolution plan for their school.
A project can be authentic in four ways,
some of which may be combined in one
project.
47. – the more directly, the better – or on a problem or issue
that is actually being faced by adults in the world students
will soon enter.
For example:
- Students create multimedia presentations that explore the question, "How do
we make and lose friends?"
- Students learn physics by investigating the question, "Why don't I fall off my
skateboard?"
- Students form task forces to study possible effects of climate change on their
community and recommend actions that could be taken.
- Students decide whether the U.S. should intervene in a conflict inside
another country that is causing a humanitarian crisis.
2) The project focuses on a problem, issue or topic
that is relevant to students' lives…
48. For example:
- Students are asked by the Archbishop of Mexico in 1818 to recommend a
location for the 22nd mission in California. (This happens to be a
featured project on BIE's new online program,PBLU.org.)
- Students act as architects who need to design a theatre that holds the
maximum number of people, given constraints of available land, cost,
safety, comfort, etc.
- Students play the role of United Nations advisors to a country that has just
overthrown a dictator and needs advice about how to start a
democracy.
- Students recommend which planet in our solar system ought to be
explored by the next space probe as they compete for NASA funding.
- Students are asked to propose ideas for a new TV reality show that
educates viewers about science topics such as evolutionary biology
and the geologic history of the earth.
3) The project sets up a scenario or simulation
that is realistic, even if it is fictitious.
49. This criterion for authenticity could apply to any of the
above examples of projects.
For example:
- Students investigating the physics of skateboarding test various surfaces
for speed, using the scientific method and tools scientists use.
- Students exploring the issue of how we make and lose friends conduct
surveys, analyze data, record video interviews, and use online editing
tools to assemble their presentations.
- Students acting as U.N advisors to an emerging democracy analyze
existing constitutions, write formal reports, and present
recommendations to a panel.
- adapted from What does it take for a project to be 'authentic' by John Larmer at:
http://www.edutopia.org/blog/authentic-project-based-learning-john-larmer
4) The project involves tools, tasks or processes used by
adults in real settings and by professionals in the workplace.
