Teach Writing With Tech
3 weeks, 3 virtual meetings, dozens of resources and more
Description
This three-week (June 19-July 9) hands-on quasi-writer’s workshop is designed for educators intent on learning to use widely-available digital tools to help their students develop their inner writer. Resources include videos, pedagogic articles, lesson plans, projects, and virtual face-to-face meetings to share in a collaborative environment. Strategies introduced range from conventional tools such as quick writes, online websites, and visual writing to unconventional approaches such as Twitter novels, comics, and Google Earth lit trips. These can be adapted to any writing program be it 6+1 Traits, Common Core, or the basic who-what-when-where-why. By the time educators finish this class, they will be ready to implement many new tools in their classroom.
Assessment is project-based so be prepared to be fully-involved and an eager risk-taker.

What Teachers Say
Great class--will spread the word about the next one.
I am morphing! Last night while integrating tech with those marvelous webtools, I began to feel a sense of ease and wonder! I love this course and will recommend it to colleagues.
One of the things I love about this course is the support and the “Just try it” attitude. It appeals to my sense of adventure. I have learned a lot.
