    Couple this one with the list of beliefs about writing, and it's amazing to see how we have created this class very similarly to the graphic.

The New Writing Pedagogy - 0 views

  • Moving to a new pedagogy is not easy for many district administrators, however, as the Web as a writing space is still primarily an unknown, scary place to put students. But as research is showing, students are flocking to online networks in droves, and they are doing a great deal of writing there already, some of it creative and thoughtful and inspiring, but much of it outside the traditional expectations of “good writing” that classrooms require
  • That change is spelled out clearly by the National Council of Teachers of English, which last year published “new literacies” for readers and writers in the 21st century. Among those literacies are the ability to “build relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and cross-culturally,” to “design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes,” and to “create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media texts.” Very little of that kind of work is possible to achieve without expanding the way we think about writing instruction in the context of online social tools.
  • “Using online writing tools will allow students to write whenever and wherever they feel inspired, and to be able to speak to an audience that is larger and more important to them than the traditional classroom,” Childers says. “There is a reason why we should constantly be looking for ways to incorporate more innovative writing opportunities into our curriculum.”

    This one is a no-brainer--meaning that not only should we be reading it, we should also be creating our schools in its likeness.

    I'd like to think that we are doing this through the Connections class.

A Modest Curriculum Proposal: Project Learning vs. the Textbook | Edutopia - 0 views

    Interesting idea.

    What would happen if we taught athletics primarily through the use of textbooks? What would happen if we taught academics primarily through hands-on experience?

The Fischbowl: I Read (?) The News Today, Oh Boy - 0 views

  • Note that this is additive - no one is suggesting that words don't matter, that what we traditionally think of as "writing" is no longer important, but that the very nature of composition is more complex now, and that our instruction, our pedagogy, our learning spaces need to reflect that.
