Please join us for a special National Writing Project Annual Meeting Teachers Teaching Teachers Webcast
If it’s November, it must be time for the National Writing Project’s Annual Meeting. In a couple of weeks many Writing Project teachers from across the United States (and some around the world) will be gathering in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for our annual conference.
In connection with the NWP Annual Meeting, you are invited to listen and interact with teachers across the globe during a special Teachers Teaching Teachers webcast sponsored by the Technology Initiative. There will also be a follow-up show after the Annual Meeting on December 2.
This event, co-hosted by the New York City Writing Project and the NWP Technology Liaisons Network, and broadcast live over the EdTechTalk network of the WorldBridges network, will feature:
- Robert Rivera-Amezola, Philadelphia Writing Project http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/nwp_amsession/1584
- Joe Conroy, NWP at Rutgers University Writing Project http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/nwp_amsession/1607
- Chuck Jurich, High Desert Writing Project (New Mexico) http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/nwp_amsession/1608
-
Paul Oh, the coordinator of the technology liaison program for the National Writing Project http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/nwp_au/1102
As presenters of Annual Meeting sessions that focus on 21st century literacies, these writing project teachers and colleagues will share stories about the exploration of new composing practices, especially podcasting and video-making. Robert and Chuck teach 4th graders and Joe is a high school teacher. It should be an exciting, informative show.
