Technology in the Writing Classroom:Recognizing Student Perspectives

Presenter(s):

Our presentation covers technology based projects that we created in our Dual Credit Englishclass last spring. The session emphasis is technology in the writing classroom and what thatlooks like for both teacher and students. When we design an assignment or a project, asteachers, we tend to have a vision of what we expected; however, sometimes that correlatesto what the students produce, and at other times, the students produce something that iscompletely unlike anything we thought of before.This session highlights the thought processesmy students followed based on their knowledge of college writing. Teacher and studentcollaborations and student to student collaborations guided our project, and presenting as agroup illustrates our communal learning that centers on technology.
