Update 3/31/11
We certainly have a literacy-rich evening ahead of us tonight! As a way to effectively use every spare moment, I ask that each of you to visit the Weekly Reading/Writing Workshop Plans page to **__RECORD YOUR OWN PLAN for WORKSHOP THIS EVENING.__** Thank you for your assistance in managing our status of the class component of workshop time, Dr. Jones

Update: 3/10/11
We have another great class ahead of us tonight -- full of many well-developed instructional activities to deepen our understanding of the connections between reading and writing. In order to make the best use of our time, at the start of R/W Workshop I will NOT take class time to ask each of you individually "what your plans are for R/W Workshop tonight?"

Instead, I ask that at the start of Workshop, each of you visit the Weekly Reading/Writing Workshop Plans page and to make any changes needed to the possible activities I have suggested for you this evening. Thanks for your cooperation! --Dr. Jones

First, thanks to Meghan and Sophia for guiding our thinking this week with some great discussion threads! Second, I just want to remind everyone that your personal blog entry #5 must be completed before the start of class this week. -Dr. Jones

UPDATE 2/22/11:
== Hello Everyone! Sophia & I have created our discussion forum. Please make sure to complete all threaded discussions & activities __no later than Tuesday, March 1st at Noon__ :) Thanks for your cooperation. -Meghan ==

==__UPDATE﻿ 2/13/11 __: == Hello LTED 618 students!

Thanks again for a great introductory discussion of Hicks' work and for contributing to our collective understanding of how we can create a LTED 618 digital writing workshop for us as writers (and readers) as well as identifying the principles and practices of a digital writing workshop we want to create for our K-12 students.

Feel free to continue to use this site as well as other collaborative composition sites (i.e., GOOGLE docs) to brainstorm, draft, and get feedback on your individual genre pieces and your collaborative pieces for presentations on your assigned Hicks' chapter.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on how to use this site. Dr. Jones.

== Hey, I saw a fantastic documentary last night on WXXI. (No, I don't have cable so I tend to watch more educational programs.) Anyway, here is the link. The program is exactly what we have been talking about in class and then some! Hope you enjoy! ~Emily == http://www.pbs.org/digital-media/

Thanks so much for sharing this with the class, Emily!! The four short videos at the end of the WXXI summary are really helpful to watch, in addition to reading the piece WXXI shared.

I would certainly recommend that when ANY 618 pair is working on preparing their presentation, these might be useful clips to revisit (or others like them). Who knows, you might even find an interview with Hicks himself out there???

Also, just as a reminder --again to all 618 students -- you are encouraged to consider additional texts as well as the course texts when you are writing your weekly R/W Blog posts. These texts Emily has shared with us might be of interest/of relevance to the thinking-through-writing you are doing. Dr. Jones
