Digital Literacies: New Ways to Support Reading AND Writing
This blog is an outline of an all-day workshop presented at the Closing the Gap Conference in Minneapolis, MN on October 17, 2007.
While a blog is not typically used as a course outline, it was used in this way so that workshop participants could have hands-on experience with how a teacher might use a blog as a classroom tool to build literacy skills in students.
The blog also offers an online medium for collaboration, links to other Web 2.0 tools such as wikis and RSS feeds, and serves as a digital record of the workshop and the learning by participants.
