Ruth and Stacey at Two Writing Teachers host the slice of life community each Tuesday. Come join us!
Some things at school have changed so much since my return to
teaching (a long while ago). I remember
when we first were able to get online that I told students that they must spend
time using the Internet for their research.
Now I would say they should find a certain number of print sources. The learning curve for teachers, in addition
to all the other tasks, is huge.
Most of this
new learning has happened because of the Internet and the possibilities of
reaching a much wider world more easily.
I don’t think I need to reiterate the many ways that teachers can
support students in the new kinds of communication of whatever they want to
say. Sometimes when I search I find it
overwhelming. Is this the best one? How does this work? Does it require e-mails? Is there enough choice in creating?
