  • I had the students each contribute a new entry or amend an existing entry on Wikipedia, or find another public forum where they could contribute to public discourse.

      This could be a key type of writing assignment in any class, and it can be done individually or in collaborative groups. 
  • What if "research paper" is a category that invites, even requires, linguistic and syntactic gobbledygook?

      I think the traditional research paper does invite gobbledygook, that's why we get so much gobbledygook from it.
  • Research indicates that, at every age level, people take their writing more seriously when it will be evaluated by peers than when it is to be judged by teachers.

      Here is a key to why QEP encourages public writing within discourse communities and is moving away from traditional classroom writing aimed solely at a grading teacher.

  • Lunsford surprised everyone with her findings that students were becoming more literate, rhetorically dexterous, and fluent—not less, as many feared. The Internet, she discovered, had allowed them to develop their writing.

      Imagine that! Our students are becoming MORE literate, not less. This is a core belief of QEP: that the Internet is encouraging more written communications among more people than at any other time in history. We wonder why the Academy is ignoring this wonderful, rich energy.
  • Everything, that is, except the grading.

      Assessment is perhaps the single most intractable aspect of traditional education. In some ways, crowdsourcing grades actually violates legal regulations about student privacy. This is a serious issue, but I am confident that we will resolve it.
  • Keith Hamon on 02 Sep 11
     
    Current practices of our educational institutions-and workplaces-are a mismatch between the age we live in and the institutions we have built over the last 100-plus years. The 20th century taught us that completing one task before starting another one was the route to success. Everything about 20th-century education, like the 20th-century workplace, has been designed to reinforce our attention to regular, systematic tasks that we take to completion. Attention to task is at the heart of industrial labor management, from the assembly line to the modern office, and of educational philosophy, from grade school to graduate school.

  • One of the greatest benefits of flipping is that overall interaction increases: Teacher to student and student to student.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 18 Jan 11
       
      This interaction across the network of a classroom is key to QEP's approach to education.
  • Keith Hamon on 18 Jan 11
     
    Flipping the classroom has transformed our teaching practice.  We no longer stand in front of our students and talk at them for thirty to sixty minutes at a time.  This radical change has allowed us to take on a different role with our students.

  • Expecting students to write in our classrooms for hit-or-miss praise is criminal. Their nimble fingers can text an entire piece of writing via their mobile device to a relevant audience online at the same time they publish to a worldwide network. For them, the pay is in the joy of publication, in the act of making their work known, and of partaking of the work of others.

      One of our tasks in QEP is to devise tools and strategies to make the instructor's job easier, not more difficult. Technology can help, and we want to explore how.
  • Create a Self-Editing checklist that is actually a GoogleForm or the Questionnaire Module in Moodle so you can quickly see class progress in graphs. Students complete this information via a web-based form that allows you to quantitatively track progress in class. Create a bank of online mini-lessons that students can watch and listen to again and again in an archive. Build that in your GoogleSites Wiki or Moodle. Facilitate sharing using recording tools in a discussion forum or Sites wiki. When doing the Group Share during a Writing Workshop, you can either play the students' presentation of the audio (which they recorded when they were ready) or record the feedback students get so that it can be added to the written piece/recording shared. That way, students can come back and reflect on the advice provided by their peers.
  • Using a Moodle or wiki, you can create a reference point that can house your mini-lesson content, including audio and/or video recordings.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 03 Aug 10
       
      Perhaps we could build a mini-lesson space on the Writing Labs wiki?
  • VoiceThread.com - Enables teachers to create an enhanced podcast about the MiniLesson content, but also allow students to contribute audio, text, or video content as comments. This enables many to many interactions.
  • GoogleDocs Presentation Tool - Enables teachers to create a slideshow that students can participate in chat, as well as contribute slides to.
  • As wonderful as a writing workshop teacher may be, s/he cannot offer the feedback that ALL students may need. However, online discussion forums through Moodle, attached to wikis, or with blog postings and comments CAN facilitate student to student interaction independent of the teacher. While many fear these kinds of interactions, in online learning, these interactions make or break an online course...or a face to face one.

      Fostering this kind of online conversation is key to QEP. It's what we are about, but we recognize that most of our students are unaccustomed to conversing about academic issues among themselves. We want to teach them to talk college.
  • Collaborative word processors can also serve as a way for students in groups to interact with ONE text online.

      This is an excellent entry point into many different kinds of exercises: group editing, group writing, group brainstorming, group illumination (adding images and video). I like this.
  • Shelly Blake-Pollock, the teacher and author of the TeachPaperless blog (http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com), encourages his students to publish online. Beyond that step, though, he offers feedback on their writing online as well via screencasts, or video recording of his computer screen. Screencasts, or "JingCrits," that he creates are short, less than 5-minute video clips where he highlights student work on screen and offers feedback (View an example - http://bit.ly/bsgVQQ).
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 03 Aug 10
       
      This could be a wonderful strategy for moving our QEP Writing Labs into the online world, enabling writing specialists to engage student writing, and offer useful feedback, online.

    a scaffolded list of skills to help them understand the embedded skills in blogging - the kind of skills that a blogger would take for granted, but a non-blogger might not think about. They feel that they understand the more traditional skills already (obviously) but don't really know what needs to be taught for digital literacy.

Therefore, I hope you take time to bookmark these various resources, share them with other educators through workshops and presentations, and spread the message of PLNs.

      Blogging provides the opportunity for a teacher to express his or her ideas, too. (A teacher sometimes requires his or her students to blog, so the teacher should gain experience as well.) As a blogger, I want to restrict my comments; I do not want everyone to have access to my thoughts.

      Yeah, there are no cons, except what economists would call "opportunity cost." That is, every one of us only has so much (or so little) time. My colleagues and I are doing the annual faculty evaluation this week. I looked at the evaluation formular and could not find how blogging can add points for me and help me get tenure. Everything said in this article is right, and I agree. But everyone knows where his or her priority is, right?
  • Because to face one's ill conclusions, self-congratulations, petty foibles, and impolite rhetoric among peers in the public square of the blogosphere is to begin to learn to grow.

      Yes, but no blogger automatically posts everything that comes to mind. One aspect of reflection is to think carefully about what you are writing and the wisdom of sharing it. For instance, I think it's worthwhile to post this.
  • I think both are achieved through the crucial practice of critical thinking and earnest self-analysis. And no where, if sincerely met with daily conviction, can both be better employed than in the practice of blogging.

      I agree that self analysis and critical thinking go together, though it may come only after lots of practice and perseverance. I am still not convinced that blogging is the only way, could be one of the ways, not for me. Nevertheless blogging opens any one to a larger group of people which may help in sharing your thoughts, opinions etc..

      Blogging is just one mechanism. There are many tools for reflection.
