Writing With Technology Home

Multimedia compositions are rapidly becoming the new language arts essay. The purpose of this course is to explore how digital tools are changing the nature of teaching writing. Using computer-based tools, which usually include some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music, participants will learn how each step in the digital writing process reflects an increase in techno-literacy, problem solving, collaboration, while honoring traditional writing and reading skills. Participants will learn how to make digital storytelling, multimedia research projects, blogs, Wikis, Twitters and Nings relevant to the teaching they are already doing and also how contemporary literacy has changed the social and political dimensions of the learning environment.
