Digital history folks, I'll be sharing an assignment that worked v well for my grad students to demonstrate the idea of historical contingency, introducing the narrative tool Twine, & exploring the affective power of pedagogical games. I hope you'll join us this afternoon if that sounds interesting!
One last reminder of the #ByteSizedPedagogy event this week with @kairosdoug.bsky.social and @cynthiaheider.com. They'll be talking about surveillance, privacy, contingency and gaming. Join us this Thursday at 1PM ET online for some free conversations about teaching and learning.
ICYMI we will be hosting @kairosdoug.bsky.social and @cynthiaheider.com at the next #ByteSizedPedagogy session on October 23, 2025 at 1PM ET. Free, open to the public, virtual. Come for your regular dose of fascinating work in digital pedagogy in a discussion-based and informal setting.
