(1 of 3) TTT155 - 06.10.09/abr/Here’s a couple of quotes from a MacArthur Spotlight that describes what you’ll hear on this podcast: On June 10th [the] editors of Teaching the New Writing, a new book from The National Writing Project, a MacArthur grantee. They discuss[ed] new directions in student composing as the boundaries between written, spoken, and visual blur and audiences expand. Editors Anne Herrington, Kevin Hodgson, and Charles Moran from the Western Massachusetts Writing Project ... address[ed] these and other questions in this podcast, drawing from insights and discoveries they made while writing their new book, Teaching the New Writing. The book pulls together teachers stories, practices, and examples of students creative and expository writing from online and multimedia projects such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, and electronic poetry. Webcast to Help Teachers Reimagine Writing in a Digital World Jenna McWilliams (Indiana University) joined us in the chat room during the live webcast. She sparked a lot of lively conversation, and after the show, Jenna wrote a thoughtful revew of Teaching the New Writing: The drive in these narratives is toward considering how new media technologies, and the accompanying valued mindsets, skillsets, and practices, change how we think about writing. Allison writes that "social networking technology allows us to ask the essential question: How do you get your work noticed online?" In "Senior Boards: Multimedia Presentations from Yearlong Research and Community-Based Culminating Project," Bryan Ripley Crandall describes his effort to shift senior project requirements to prepare learners for "writing for the real world": [A]s an English teacher, I’ve had to adapt with new technology to keep up. I feel obligated to provide students the best technological resources I can because I recognize an online, digital life is what my students know and where they’ll be in the future. Digital literacy is a growing expectation of higher education, employers, parents, and students. Here, Crandall points to two key sentiments that run through Teaching the New Writing: That writing teachers recognize the need to integrate new media technologies and practices into their classrooms, and that they feel a little desperate at finding strategies for keeping up with the technological and cultural changes that give rise to this need. See Jenna’s entire Book review: Teaching the New Writing: Technology, change, and assessment in the 21st-century classroom This podcast is the first of three Teachers Teaching Teachers shows this month that will focus on this book. On TTT#156 (June 17) and TTT#157 (June 24), we will have various authors from the different chapters of Teaching the New Writing on the show. Join us for this podcast and the next two as well.

On the first of these two shows (TTT#151) our guests gave personal definitions for this field of educational research that describes resiliency in students, we asked these Writing Project teachers to describe what it look like in the classroom: What specific structures, decisions, books, approaches, projects or technologies have you learned to employ in your classroom to provide the "protective factors" that enable "at-risk" students to develop the resiliency they need to succeed? On this podcast, Paul Allison and Susan Ettenheim were joined for a second time by five Writing Project teachers from around the country: DeWayne Dickens, Oklahoma State Writing Project Suzanne Linebarger, Northern California Writing Project Irina McGrath, Louisville Writing Project Lynette Herring-Harris, Thinking Partner for Rural Sites Network, Mississippi State University Writing/Thinking Project Vanessa Brown, Thinking Partner for the Urban Sites Network, Philadelphia Writing Project Enjoy their conversation! It is laced with provocative questions, inspiring stories, detailed descriptions, and political urgency. In this second podcast, you will hear DeWayne, Suzanne, Irina, Lynette, and Vanessa discussing how resiliency: helps them to understand and to demand the use of technology to give students voice, social comptency, and power and provides a important context for the professional development work they do with their colleagues within their own schools in in their Writing Project sites. That’s a mouthful, but we think you’ll understand after you listen to these engaging teachers describe the work that resilency has inspired them to do with their students and colleagues. Enjoy!

On TTT#152 we enjoyed learning from the young women at Matt Montagne’s school who are involved with tthe Gator Radio Experience. On this podcast, we feature three amazing teenagers, three glib feminists who have begun to make their voices be heard on a group blog, "Womens Glib." File this one under student self-initiated work that gives you hope for the future " and the present too! The young women who started a feminist blog recently to join us on Teachers Teaching Teachers. We learned so much from them that we can’t wait until we play this for our students in this fall when we introduce them to blogging. Womens Glib is a community of nerdy, foul-mouthed youth. Miranda started the adventure in January, after many months spent wondering if she was up to the task of maintaining a blog. She was very quickly joined by Katie, Ruth, Zoe, Phoebe, Shira, Silvia, and Kyla. Guest contributors also help spread the feministy love now and then. Heres what they say on their about page: Womens Lib[eration], a.k.a. feminism: n., belief in the social, political, and economic equality of all people regardless of gender or sex glib: adj., performed with a natural, offhand ease Womens Glib is a blog by and for young feminists and womanists. Contributors are teenage New Yorkers, writing about what matters to us with a focus on feminism and other progressive values. We cannot and do not speak for all teenagers or all young feminists; we simply speak for ourselves and write our own truths.

TTT#153 features three glib teenage feminists who have begun to make their voices be heard on a group blog, "Womens Glib." Occasionally I (Paul Allison) blink back a tear and remember the work we used to do with Lee Baber. Rectnely, I listened to these podcasts from two years ago: SpaceCast#25C Spacecast#24 - The Virgina Tech Shootings Our SpaceCasts were filled with wild moments in search of meaning, but they were about connection and knowing other young people living in different places. This work supplemented our other work with blogs and wikis, images and text with a warmth and humanness that I miss. How can we re-start webcasting with students? Matt Montagne has been working this school year with his students on the Gator Radio Experience Broadcasting live on the Castilleja Gator Radio Network! Broadcast dates: 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. Matt has invited a couple of his students from the Castilleja School involved with this this broadcasting project to join us on Teachers Teaching Teachers this week. Paul invited a couple of his students from the East-West School of International Studies and who publish on Youth Voices to meet Matts broadcasters. Come learn with us!!

We ask that you listen to this podcast, then add your own story (by posting a comment) about a student who exhibited the qualities of resiliency that we are seeking to nurture in our classrooms. What specific structures, decisions, books, approaches, projects or technologies have you learned to employ in your classroom to provide the "protective factors" that enable "at-risk" students to develop the resiliency they need to succeed? Our guests on this podcast are: DeWayne Dickens, Oklahoma State Writing Project Suzanne Linebarger, Northern California Writing Project Sandra Hogue, Louisville Writing Project Irina McGrath, Louisville Writing Project Lynette Herring-Harris, Thinking Partner for Rural Sites Network Vanessa Brown, Thinking Partner for the Urban Sites Network, Philadelphia Writing Project Resiliency theories have been shared for over a decade. These teachers are just a few of the members of the National Writing Project’s Urban and Rural Sites Networks, who have been discussing the implications of resiliency research for classroom practice. On this podcast you will hear what they see and do when stakes are high, supports are limited, and odds are tough"and kids rise above it all. DeWayne tells us about a woman in her late-30’s who has failed Composition II three times, but is not giving up. Suzanne describes Jermaine, the Mayor of Liondot Avenue, and a video project that draws him into school. Sandra relates a story about six-year-old "Richard" who had been removed from his home and placed with his aunt, but who finds himself in literature. Irina tells us about her work with English Language Learners, her Spanish-speaking students who found community by telling their stories in Spanish. Lynette talks about a letter she wrote to her students with a quarter for a phone call. Many of her rural students used these quarters, connecting with a teacher who cared. They were kids who had the odds against them, but they found success. This podcast is the first of a special two-part Teachers Teaching Teachers sponsored by the Urban Sites Network and Rural Sites Network of the National Writing Project. The next webcast will be on Wednesday June 3, 2009 at EdTechTalk at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific USA Wednesday / 01:00 UTC Thursdays World Times. After the webcast, DeWayne sent around a statement by a student that represents his thinking on resilience: "Overall, I feel as though I have accomplished the impossible. I has not been easy, nor has it been without failure, but it has been the hardships that have made the successes not only more important but much more meaningful." Another example from DeWayne: A student from this semester with visual impairment represents the resilience needed to make it through school. Some days he was angry. Some days he seemed lost because he could not see the white board, the classroom text books, or the computer screens. He had to learn how to make requests of staff, faculty, and students--in a mature and respectful manner that placed people in a mode of wanting to help him. At the beginning of the semester, most comments were angry and forceful. Toward the end of the semester, the comments shifted to engaging others in helping him solve his problems by his suggesting possible alternate ways for others to provide him work. He had moved to appreciating his academic skills and his need to master Paul,Allison,,Susan,Ettenheim,,National,Writing,Project,,Bonnie,Benard,,DeWayne,Dickens,,Suzanne,Linebarger,,Sandra,Hogue,,Irina,McGrath,,Lynette,Herring-Harris,,Vanessa,Brown,,resiliency Paul Allison, Susan Ettenheim, Thomas (Teb) Locke no No http://teachersteachingteachers.org/?p=209 http://teachersteachingteachers.org/?p=209#comments Sat, 09 May 2009 16:54:21 +0000 Paul Allison http://teachersteachingteachers.org/?p=209 http://teachersteachingteachers.org/?feed=rss2&p=209 50:45 br/a href="http://edtechtalk.com/audio/download/3748/Teachers150-2009-05-06.mp3"Download SproutBuilder Meets VoiceThread - TTT150 - 05.06.09/abr/Susan Ettenheim just started using Sproutbuilder this spring and is always ha br/a href="http://edtechtalk.com/audio/download/3748/Teachers150-2009-05-06.mp3"Download SproutBuilder Meets VoiceThread - TTT150 - 05.06.09/abr/Susan Ettenheim just started using Sproutbuilder this spring and is always happy to work with VoiceThread, an all time favorite application, so we decided to introduce them to each other with you joining us in the conversation. Trudy Marquardt from Sproutbuilder joined us with Justin Ellsworth, a Sprout using educator, and Ben Papell and Steve Muth from VoiceThread. From VoiceThread: With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. All with no software to install. A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate pages and leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too. Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities, and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded to show and receive comments on other websites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archival movies. Steve and Ben, aside from sharing with Trudy and Justin and our listeners, introduced the amazing new VoiceThread Library. The Digital Library is a database of articles about successful VoiceThread projects. It creates a resource that offers guidance and inspiration for people undertaking new projects. Sprout Builder is a web-hosted, visual authoring solution that allows creative professionals to quickly and easily create branded, rich-media content and widgets. So, why are we interested in it for education? Our students want to build, build, build - who wouldn’t want to "make a website" and publish it? When Harold Rheingold posted a tweet about SproutBuilder, Susan was intrigued, having followed his work for many years since his very first books about online community. http://socialmediaclassroom.com/digitaljournalism09/wiki/widgets-lab http://socialmediaclassroom.com/digitaljournalism09/wiki/a-short-guide-how-i-created-demo-sprout-less-hour Susan’s students had been asking to build websites and since becoming a Google Apps school, students had access to Sites. Could they start a Site that could grow to be a digital portfolio over the four years of high school? Could Sites be interesting enough to them to hold their attention? They started a main page and then were frozen. What could they talk about? They were "only" in 9th grade. They needed to gain some confidence and validate the interests and passions that they did already have. Every student found a topic about which they wanted to learn more and built a Sprout to explore the topic. Along the way, they learned about fair use, developing a point of view and a hook into a story, citations and rss feeds. They started to learn about widgets and social media and saw how a giant like Pepsi, http://www.pepsithrowbackhub.com/index.html and a 9th grade student could explore using the same tool. Trudy Marquardt at SproutBuilder started answering Susan’s help questions and introduced her to Justin who has started an amazing wiki about SproutBuilder. Here are some links that Justin shared: http://www.farmington.k12.mi.us/ http://www.farmington.k12.mi.us/woo/classrooms/2nd/index.php http://singtokids.wikispaces.com/Fifth+Grade Here are some links to get you started: http://www.sproutbuilder.com/ http://ed.voicethread.com http://techfarm.wikispaces.com/Sprout Here is a link to a YouTube Video that Trudy made on Sprouts and Education: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mok49o2o2e4 oh and... the link to the VoiceThread Moodle embed plugin - http://voicethread.com/blog/ Thank you Harold Rheingold for your Twitter posts!

A few weeks ago, as soon as Paul Allison had finished reading about Ask the President in The Nation, Barack Obama was conducting his first online town hall. Obama answered questions that had been voted to the top at WhiteHouse.gov, an exciting new process which was molded on a project that was created and is being hosted by our guest, David Colarusso, a 30-year-old law student and former high school teacher. When Paul read that this web innovator and activist was a former teacher, he started thinking that David may have some thoughts about how my students and the students involved in our social network, http://youthvoices.net, might get involved in the Ask The President project or other communityCOUNTS projects. Listen to our conversation with David Colarusso about leveraging your voice for change. We asked him how to spark, collect, rank, and compel discussion for an assortment of web-content from Flickr to YouTube using communityCounts.

The video campaign extends the popular Letters to the Next President letter-writing campaign launched in 2008 by NWP and Google Docs, which engaged over 6,500 high school and middle school students across the United States, as well as the hundreds of teachers and mentors who guided them. Students identified topics that reflected their specific personal, regional, and age-related interests, and with the help of Google Docs published their work online for their peers, parents, and the public on the Letters to the Next President: Writing Our Future website: www.letters2president.org. The new initiative is open to all young people whose teachers register their class to participate. The deadline for registration is March 27, 2009. Full registration and publication guidelines can be found at www.digitalartsalliance.org. In early April, participating teachers will be able to upload their students videos and publish them for the global community. The complete collection of student work will be posted at www.digitalartsalliance.org and www.letters2president.org. Enjoy the pocast, and sign up this week!
