"The digital classroom and course from the Young Writers Project has had a tremendously positive impact on my teaching. And because I was inspired,  challenged, and forever changed, my students grew." -- Vermont 5/6 teacher.
 
Sign up NOW for Young Writers Project's  yearlong practicum on digital writing and engage your students online.
 
This course will help teachers integrate Web 2.0 tools and multimedia technology into their curriculum to help their students improve their writing skills, gain digital literacy, engage in their own learning processes and experience the benefits of collaborative, shared, personalized learning.
 
This is a rigorous but tranformational course. Course participants will get a working Digital Writing Classroom to use in the classroom during the year and will use a similar site for this course -- to see what it's like from a student's perspective. The course is tailored to your needs and curriculum; work in this course is directly applied in your school classroom. Participants receive three graduate credits from St. Michael's College. 
  • To register, CLICK HERE to submit registration form or  send an email or call Geoffrey Gevalt at 802-324-9537 for more information.
  • Syllabus and flyer are attached below and can be DOWNLOADED.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS SEPT. 14, 2010.
 

The core work of this course will take place online; participants will learn how to use digital technology in their classrooms, devise their own exercises, write about and assess their work and learn collaboratively online with other participants. Participants will be expected to use their classroom Web site as an integral part of their teaching. Attached is the new syllabus.
