In an era of texting, tweeting, Facebook updates,
                   and blogging,




  digital writing is a necessary skill to success
               beyond the classroom.
The Way We Communicate is Changing

?? Pay Phones ??




 http://www.partoons.net/bio.html
Many of our students
now have never sent a
  letter in the mail or
written a formal letter.
Educators
                                                           have to
                                                         adapt their
                                                         practices to
                                                            new

Our Digital World
Requires Digital
    Writing
http://kshema-distancelibraryservices.blogspot.com   /
“It is a game-changing moment for
teachers of writing. The very notion
       of what it means to write is
                shifting…”

        Sharon Washington
Director of National Writing Project.
Technology Tools
Collaborate

Reflect

Publish
Collaborate   Tools for for writing




  Collaborizeclassroom.com
 took the place of a lot of the
  pen and paper homework
   assigments. Students
     collaborate, debate
         respectfully.
Googledocs
  get real time collabrating on
documents. Students can chat
while they work on the Life Chat.
TitanPad.com
very similar to googledocs and
  has the live chat features.
Reflect



            Penzu.com
 online journal – ability to share or
lock entries. Insert images, share
              entries.
Ohlife.com
simple introduction of blogging
  for kids (upper elementary).
Ask questions and student can
             answer
Linoit.com
 group reflections with groups
doing the same type activities
and helping students figure out
what went well and what needs
        more attention.
Publish
  Easy to publish to a global
          audience

We can empower students by
giving them a voice and teach
students how to communicate
           online.
“When students know other
 students will see their work,
   they want it to be good.

When students know teachers
will see their work, they want it
      to be good enough.”
         Rushton Hurley
Pen.io
 simple way to publish writing.
Easy URL creation. Very good for
      upper elementary.
Storybird.com
pair writing with artwork. Take
 writing beyond and include
            images.
Storyjumper.com
students can upload their own
           images.
Wix.com
create easy websites
A few ways to use this information:
 You  don’t need to grade everything
 Students are valuable resources
 More writing leads to better writing
 Grades are not the most motivating
  factor
 Technology creates more visibility &
  accountability.
Digital Writing: Communicate,
     Collaborate & Create
