Writing teachers and people who write need to understand the 9 ways writing has been reinvented. These slides give an overview of the 9 ways writing is reinvented and touch on some of the community and safety aspects as well. Based upon "Reinventing Writing" June 2014 by Vicki Davis. This presentation is available online at Reinventing the Classroom 2014 online.
I've embedded the video near the beginning, just forward past it if you don't want to watch the video.

innovations into a classroom
and hope that the instructor
will invent effective ways to
use them.To fully utilize a
new teaching technology, you
often need to invent new
teaching practices as well.” Gamifi-ed Project:

One drop is a drop of water. Many drops of water together make rain. Rain makes the grass grow. One person writing is one workbut multiple people make change. Change can improve our world.
