Prairie Lands Writing Project held a Shoot and Write Marathon that was a reunion of our original in April. This is part of our Super Technology Saturdays. We met Oct. 17, 2009 with 6 members, a diverse group of a science teacher, a math teacher, an…
Yes,
I finally figured out how to upload a video.

Kevin,
I don't know if anyone recorded the song. Bill may have.
I did put together this video and finally have it what I call finished.
Ben,
I think your number one is vital. The one about having students help is great. I learned more from my students than anyone else. Number 10 is also very important. The only other one I would add is when teaching teachers or students never take c…
Kevin,
I have to agree with Sarah. The students love to use the boards.
Try digging around in this site. Some of the teachers in my Tinkering With Technology class this last summer found some good lessons here.

Heather,
You are not alone in this problem of access. I have found it is very common. Most all the suggestions above are great. The ones about making friends with the tech support is good. Telling your principal about your experience this summer wou…
At Prairie Lands Writing Project we used a ning where as before we had used web board. When using web board the facilitators of the SI were the ones to add content with the fellows only adding their writing pieces and the daily log. We found web boa…

- Missed you Mary. You know, I was the only one from our TM group here. No Lynne and no Karen this year. It was a bit lonely,

With your interest in Technology for your Writing Project, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
Here’s a Public Class on Technology Integration you might be interested in.

- Hi, Mary. I promise I was not ignoring you. I was in Dallas when I got your e-mail and planned to accept your "friendship" when I got home. However, obviously I didn't. I do so want to be your friend on Tech Friends and also in non-cyber space. Will you please still accept me! :)

A study from Britain by The National Literacy Trust looked at young writers and technology. It's worth a reading.
One of the findings that stuck with me -- the idea (again) that writing outside of school is more meaningful to many young people than…
