Does Tech Change Writing? (Is that a leading question?)

September 26th, 2006 · 2 Comments

    Kevin needs your help:

I am working with two distinguished researchers/writers in the field of composition (Charlie Moran and Anne Herrington)
from the University of Massachusetts Amherst to develop a book that
examines how our view of teaching writing and composition is changing
with the integration of technology. Anne and Charlie have looked at
writing practices from a variety of angles, including writing across
the curriculum and genres. Now they want to add technology to the mix.

We are looking for classroom teachers in grades 4-13 who can write
about their experiences. We have just published a call for proposals in
English Journal and other sources but I wanted to use my web of Blogs to get the word out, too.

Visit his blog to read the formal call for proposals.  Then get writing and send in a proposal.

    Thanks for the mention here, Bud.
    I hope some people answer the call and showcase the work and reflection that is going on in their classrooms.

    Bud, I just had to take a moment to tell you what an exciting project this sounds like. I look forward to reading this book once it’s published. I do believe that teaching writing has changed in this high tech age. Good luck to Kevin and his co-writers for tackliing an important subject!
