[x] A talk about digital poetry at UBC this Wednesday (tomorrow) by Jim Andrews

[Jim Andrews]

You're invited to a talk this Wednesday (tomorrow) at UBC I'm giving. 
Here's info on it:
http://dlc.lled.educ.ubc.ca/2015/10/24/dlc-series-language-and-literacy-on-the-frontiers-of-digital-poetry 


The food will be served at 4:40pm. Early bird gets the worm. The talk is 
from 5 to 6; Q&A from 6 to 6:30.

The audience will mainly consist of soon-to-be and some already-are K-12 
English teachers studying at UBC under the 
poet/artist/musician/performer/theorist/teacher Kedrick James who, with 
Ron Darvin, organized the talk.

I'll be showing some interactive/visual/audio poems and also addressing 
the following issues:
1. Why you should teach digital poetry
2. How digital media is transforming language
3. What is digital poetry?
4. What are some pedagogical possibilities of digital poetry?
5. Why I wandered lonely from a cloud

The talk is at Pondersosa F at UBC at the Digital Literacy Centre.

The parkade nearest Ponderosa F (DLC is Room 103):
