New Media Conventions and Digital Citation: a #digped Discussion
October 31, 2012 | Filed in: #digped
by Pete Rorabaugh, Jesse Stommel, and Robin Wharton
On Hybrid Pedagogy, Pete and Jesse have previously discussed the “Four Noble Virtues of Digital Media Citation,” boiling them down to attribution, deference, curation, and engagement. We argue that building a new ethic of citation can create a new academic landscape where “each citation and each hyperlink preempts the peer review process by inviting other scholars and pedagogues into the conversation. We don’t cite because someone has written the ‘best thing’; rather, we cite to offer feedback and to invite dialogue.” Similarly, in “Bright Lines and Golden Rules: Copyright, Fair Use, and Critical Pedagogy,” Robin suggests that classrooms be transformed by a new relationship to scholarly sources. She recommends that, in teaching the method of academic citation, “we should do everything we can to demonstrate the scholarly and educational value of open access work.” We should start thinking about a uniform method(s) of academic citation consistent with these lines of inquiry.

On my first day as a student-teacher in a public high school (1999), my mentor teacher left me in the room at 8:20 a.m. to take a call in the front office. As students began filing into school for the day and eventually into her room, the minutes dragged on. It was 8:30. The bell rang. More minutes. Eventually, at 8:35, one of the students in the Senior Literature class said: “Are you our sub?” I was wearing a tie, but I was not the sub. I hadn’t taught a day in my life.
