Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom is everything one could hope such a volume might be: clear and accessible, learned and pragmatic, broad and deep - and, above all, extremely useful to all those teaching any aspect the digital humanities, new and experienced alike. * Dr. Raymond Siemens, Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Humanities, University of Victoria, Canada * Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom is a much overdue practical guide to the digital humanities, including a practical and pedagogical focus as useful for active digital humanities scholars as it is for novices. The model assignments provide scholars with materials that are profoundly useful, while the anecdotal experiences of the authors explore the real-life implications of using technologies in the classroom in more than just a token way. * Megan Faragher, Assistant Professor, Wright State University - Lake Campus, USA * "Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom: A Practical Introduction for Teachers, Lecturers, and Students offers both a coherent account of how one might think about a pedagogy that is both humanistic and digitally-informed as well as a kaleidoscopic array of possible assignments, or even just tweaks to existing assignments ... I think Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom is the best such book going, and is worth the time of anyone who's interested in thinking about humanities pedagogy, especially if you're interested in considering some digital tools ... I say this less often than you'd think, but this is a book I wish I'd written about five years ago. * ProfHacker, The Chronicle of Higher Education *
