The Marist Mindlist for the class of 2023 notes of this year’s incoming
freshmen that “[t]heir smart pens may write and record faster than they can
think” and “YouTube has become the video version of Wikipedia.” Today’s
students communicate with gifs and memes as readily as they do with a computer
keyboard and perhaps more readily than they do with a pen and paper. Smart
phones and social media shape their social interactions and the way they
acquire and share knowledge. In this context, linguistic anthropology has
useful lessons to teach students about communication and the social life of
words. But how do we most effectively teach these lessons to today’s students?
How do we incorporate new technologies and learning modalities into our
pedagogy? The emergence of digital communication technologies has also enabled
the growth of online and hybrid teaching. While all of these changes present
challenges for educators they also offer new opportunities to engage a wider
range of students and to include a greater diversity of voices in our
educational materials. With the goal of fostering a discussion on best
practices, this roundtable brings together faculty members teaching students
using online, hybrid and face-to-face formats at a variety of different types
of higher education institutions.</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><font size="2"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Organizer: </span></b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><span></span></span></font></p>
