2. "This is how I write..."
"This is how I write. I take a
moment - an image, a
memory, a phrase, an idea -
and I hold it in my hands
and declare it a treasure."
Lucy Calkins

3. Motivation to Write
"When students become deeply
involved in their writing, they don't
need motivation activities." Lucy Calkins!
"Students who have become shrewd at
working with online platforms that
support their creating and posting of
videos and music on YouTube and their
social communications with friends
through blogs, texts, and tweets are
motivated by blended learning
experiences." (Lapp, Fisher, & Frey,
2014)

4. 3rd Space Learning
"Technology is deployed to do what is best.
Teacher are employed to do what they do best.
Technology does not replace teachers; it supports
teachers and makes them more productive." John
Chubb, 2012 (as cited in Fassbender & Lucier
2014)!
