Exploring writing, teaching and technology
New Resources on TLN webpage.
Howdy Techies,
The TLN updated our website with the following new resources:
Keeping the Promise of the 21st Century: Bringing Classroom Teaching into the Digital Age
Summary: Over the four years of the Technology Initiative, NWP accelerated growth in its cadre of teacher-consultants, created new classroom-tested practices, produced programs on using technology for teaching, and helped engage students in active learning of subject matter that is tied to meaningful learning goals, reports Inverness Research in this policy brief.
Electronic Portfolios as Catalysts for Change in the Summer Institute
By: Karen McComas (Yeah Karen!!)
Summary: The Marshall University Writing Project found that electronic portfolios helped document the work of teachers in its summer institute and were a meaningful form of professional development because teachers were placed in the role of learner.
NCTE Promotes 21st Century Writing
Summary: Literacy education and literacy practices are in the midst of a profound change. A new series of reports from NCTE calls for support for 21st century writing and writers both in and out of school.
Spatial, Visual Rhetoric Meet New Media
Summary: The First Year Writing Showcase, which incorporates teachings in writing and visual communication, began at the University of Arizona in 2007 and has since seen exponential growth in participation among UA students, faculty, and instructors.
