| Digital Paper--from the Bay Area Writing Project | |
| Digital Paper is an online magazine by the Bay Area Writing Project
(BAWP). Its contributors are the many Teacher Consultants who have
been lucky enough to pass through the doors of a BAWP Summer Institute.
Its audience is anyone interested in good reading, writing, viewing,
and listening. We are dedicated to the premise that in order to
be effective teachers of the arts we must also slide behind typewriters,
pick up chalk, strap on guitars, start the camera rolling, reach
for the brush…and pursue the arts ourselves, with passionate
abandon, tumbling head over heels into the next moment. |
