CILA Book Club Lunch and Discussion
Thursday, September 28, 2023
During Community Time 11:30am-12:30pm
Location: Valhalla
“CILA Book Club Lunch and Discussion: Jenae Cohn’s book Skim, Dive, Surface: Teaching Digital Reading.” All are welcome, whether you read the book or not! Discussion led by Diane LeBlanc.
A little more information: Like other characteristics of the students we teach, reading habits are changing. New reading technologies, expanding demands on students’ time, information overload, and the abrupt shift to primarily digital texts during remote learning have all impacted if, when, where, and how students read.
Most of our courses ask students to read for information and to respond personally and analytically to develop their critical thinking and writing. How are we adapting our courses to situate and teach reading?
This and other questions will be discussed during this lunch hour.
