    "What does it mean to see the world like a designer? What is "maker thinking?" What kinds of thinking dispositions characterize a tinkerer? These are some of the questions at the heart of the Agency by Design project, a multi-year research and development initiative at Project Zero, a research organization at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. "

    Literacy as we know it and teach it; is not enough. There is a new grammar and a new literacy that students must understand and embrace in order access to the information, inspiration, and opportunities the world and web hold. You are central to this change process. Our students need teachers, leaders, policy makers and community stakeholders to be actively involved in creating new visions and pathways for literacy, learning and living.

    "Fifty years on from his first novel and it's still unclear whether Alan Garner is in touch with an alternative reality or just the 'dream-maker' he claims. Here, he explains how he died three times and why spending two years in the foetal position is not the best career move"

    "HIGHRISE is a multi-year, multi-media, collaborative documentary project about the human experience in global vertical suburbs. Under the direction of documentary-maker Katerina Cizek, the HIGHRISE team will be making lots of things. Web-documentaries, live presentations, installations, mobile projects and yes, documentary films. We will use the acclaimed interventionist and participatory approaches of the award-winning National Film Board of Canada's Filmmaker-in-Residence (FIR) project. Our scale will be global, but rooted firmly in the FIR philosophy - putting people, process, creativity, collaboration, and innovation first."

  • To write still means to make something. Writers are makers.
  • much of the power of writing is that it takes thought and externalizes it
  • whether we are writing on a digital platform or in our spiral notebooks. There is a core to writing that is still about creating and sharing knowledge
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • some components that have hugely changed, mainly the issues of what we can create and how it circulates.
  • teacher who acted as the sole reader of our material.
  • The internet and 21st century tools have opened up the possibility for one individual to not only produce the text but also to design it, circulate it, and manage publicity
  • very young or beginning writers can actually participate in all of those processes
  • we think of digital writing as writing that is not only created using digital tools, but is also typically created in or for a networked environment and meant to be interacted with on a screen.
  • We need to be able to make that part of our understanding of the new normal of writing -- not an additional piece -- but the new normal.
  • As computers become increasingly networked, teachers could see the potential for the read/write web, for writing as a way to participate in online communities, to hyperlink vast amounts of information connected to a text, and to interact and even collaborate directly with others to create something
  • being a writer yourself and participating in digital environments alongside the youth you work with, you are able to observe patterns and experience the new in such a way that you could be part of remaking knowledge in the field of composition. The writing revolution is not done and we can be right in the middle of it.
  • it's all about an inquiry stance and creating learning experiences where students can do the same because the "textbook" is all around us in the reading and writing going on in the world
  • participating as a digital writer and deeply reflecting upon your work by looking for patterns and understanding what shifts are being required of you
  • shift from being the person who hands out formulas for writing success to the person who stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the students to understand what happens when we write for real in world.
  • build the platforms for publishing and circulation of student work
  • It’s vital for teachers and curriculum developers to start with the assumption that every young person not only can become a participant in the public internet, but will become a participant and likely already is a participant.
  • youth are going to have to manage their online identity. How they present and represent their identities and manage the multiple footprints they leave on the web are going to be key things for students to understand.
  • develop a sense of responsibility around what they put out there
  • sense of power and authority
  • making, creating, and collaborating about real work that matters to them
  • tools are not the issue
  • They allow us to do new things and expand our capacity to make things, yet deep, consistent issues remain at the center: what am I saying? Is what I have to say warranted? Have I been accurate and credible? Have I crafted something that my reader and my audience can take in? Am I listening to response and looking at my drafts iteration by iteration?
  • it’s so important to slow oneself down and to take one’s text quite seriously.

    "A learning environment expert and education advocate, Elyse is dedicated to improving the teaching of writing by helping educators understand the changing nature of the discipline in a digital age."
