6. “In an inquiry
stance, teachers
help children
explore different
alternatives for how
to write something,
and then let them do
what writers really
have to do and make
decisions about how
their pieces will go.”
p. 27, 2006

7. “Beyond teacher
modeling in the
classroom, my
students benefit
immensely from
closely examining
writing from the real
world.”
p. 20, 2011

8. when we can write in public
spaces, it changes the process
AND the reasons we write. It
adds another layer to writing.

17. What does it mean to live
your life as a (digital)
writer?

18. I blog regularly.
I read other bloggers' writing daily and often try things I've
seen
I bookmark things I'd like to try in my blog writing.
I comment and tweet.
I save videos, presentations and podcasts that inspire me to
try something new in my composition
I collect photos that I may use in presentations in the future
I play with new tools and often become obsessed with them
as I am learning them
I try to create things with new tools for fun
I try various drafts of things and save the drafts
I revise and edit with online tools
I share writing online and immediately for feedback
I compose collaboratively using things like Google Docs.

19. What does this mean
for your teaching?
How has your teaching changed?
What issues do you feel comfortable
with?
What issues are you struggling with?

20. What kinds of literacies do
students need to be able to work,
innovate and communicate in the
modern world? Answer: Whatever
literacies enable them to "write"
the media they "read" so they can
be active media creators rather
than passive media consumers.
Literacy has always meant being
able to consume and produce the
media forms of the day, whatever
they may be.
