last night's lecture for the Teaching Digital Composition seminar

These are the slides for an hour-long lecture I’ve done twice now over in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction for Rick Beach’s grad seminar in Teaching Digital Composition. The focus is Basic Classroom Blogging for a mixed audience of secondary and higher ed teachers. (It’s an update of the joint lectures Clancy and I used to do for the Digital Media Center’s Faculty Fellowship program.)

Also of interest: Prof. Beach is the lead author on a new book titled Teaching Writing Using Blogs, Wikis, and other Digital Tools, along with my department’s own Lee-Ann Kastman Breuch, Chris Anson, and Thom Swiss. It’s due out next month, but it doesn’t look like there’s an Amazon page up yet for it. You can find the project wiki here.

Oooh, thanks! I actually wanted to take that class, but I decided I needed a break from school for a semester.

Excellent model of a slideshow as well as a terrific resource! Thanks for sharing.

"Group blogs. Problem: Usual Collaboration Issues"--
--that really made me laugh!
Like, "Life. Problem: Other Humans." : )

S & J: Thanks!

Fresca: I hadn't noticed that before. I guess the cranky hermit nature always leaks out through the cracks.
