From Emailed Assignment:!
“PRIOR to the session (yes, you have homework!), you are expected to watch
videos/read articles about the session(s) that MOST interest you. This will
save you from having to listen to a lecture presentation
from me on SEVEN different topics.”

Step 1 - Make Student Work Known

“I used to think sharing writing was like dessert. I have changed
my mind completely. The advent of technology has shown us what
happens when kids (irrepressibly, irrevocably) connect with each
other.”


Step 1 - Make Student Work Known - Publish

“…that urge to share isn't the dessert…it is the
motor that runs this train. If we have time to write,
we have to read what we wrote especially if it
comes out of our lives.”  
—Gretchen Bernabei, TrailofBreadCrumbs.net



Step 2 - Create an Online Shared Space

“They don't perceive the writing they do with digital devices--texting,
digital storytelling, tweeting, facebooking--as “writing."

“Look at them..the human race is so uninteresting. They are stupid, they are ignorant,
and most of all, they are hopelessly boring. They are not worthy of this planet called
Earth. Let’s destroy them, so we can take their land and use the humans for ‘humantesting’,” Chief Zen suggested.!

!

No, Chief Zen, give them a chance. The human race is famous for storytelling. Let
them entertain us before we act too harshly,” Zero replied.!

!

Fine, Zero. But if the story doesn’t please me–we destroy the storyteller and his/her
country,” Chief Zen said.!

!

“Great idea, Chief. Bring forth your storytellers, humans….”

Where is your “write-space?”
!

Wouldn’t it be neat if it was also your “share-space,” too?


“My sister and I need your permission to create a cartoon based on your story,
Alone in the Middle. We will post it on youtube and Email you for advice. Maybe
send you a copy of scenes so far. Please reply.” Thanks, Nathan & Nicole

then....

“OK, the first paragraph is complete. Rosalie, are you allowed on youtube if I
give you the link. Or do you want to see the paragraph another way. Please
respond.”
Thanks, Nathan.

Step 3 - ReInvent Writing—Go Digital!

Step 3 - ReInvent Writing—Go Digital!

“Each student worked on their own iPad to create their eBook. We are
working on stacking our eBook library with student created books, that will
allow students to “leave a legacy” by making their books available for future
students of their grade level.” (Source: Langwitches, http://tinyurl.com/lx7losv)


Step 4 - Facilitate Online Conversations

“Choose one photo from the holiday card box. Choose one
family’s card. Write a dinner table conversation !
they might have.” !

Step 5 - Provide Multimedia Feedback to Student Writing

“So far, the reaction to [video] comments has been overwhelmingly in favor.
In fact, both students and parents have been pushing me to produce as
many ‘JingCrits’ as my time allows.”
