  For the 2013 Modernist Studies Association Conference, I have organized a roundtable called "Everyday Technology: Teaching Modernism and Digital Media." Grab a coffee and come join us on Friday, August 30, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. The roundtable features teachers of modernism who demonstrate a wide range of pedagogical approaches. Introducing applications, classroom strategies, assignments, and methods, the participants on this roundtable will examine the ways that digital tools have shaped students' engagement with modernist materials. The presenters teach various kinds of courses--including composition courses, surveys, seminars, and digital humanities courses—in different countries and types of institutions. Following the panelists’ brief introductions, we will shift to a question and answer format. We look forward to a lively discussion addressing topics of interest to the audience members.  The panelists:
