In this week’s blog post, Drs Christine Johnston and Leigh Anne Lieberman introduce us to their new NEH-funded project, “Teaching Ancient in a Digital Age.” This institute aims to equip Ancient Mediterranean studies faculty with essential digital skills and resources that take into account the evolving educational landscapes. Through virtual and in-person workshops, participants will develop lesson plans focused on data and digital literacy, which will enhance student engagement and prepare them to teach using the newest digital technologies applied through pedagogical best practices.
