New Realms for Writing: Inspire Student Expression with Digital Age Formats
()
About this ebook
The world should be the driving curriculum in our schools. Assignments should be authentic, have real-world connections and encourage students to create meaningful work. Accordingly, content created and read in school should go beyond books and include podcasts, popular culture, games and films to help students build writing and critical-thinking skills.
New Realms for Writing features a variety of teacher-created resources and samples of student work to illustrate how teachers can design inquiry units for their content area that are authentic and engage students while developing digital age skills.
This book:
- Provides insights into creating and using innovative materials and texts that are differentiated and personalized to student learners, specifically for teaching writing.
- Provides pedagogy and lesson ideas that promote student choice and voice within units of study that make cross-curricular connections.
- Offers tips to ensure that tech tools support student learning -- while not driving it.
There are many great tech tools to support learning, but the conversation must center on thoughtful teaching and purpose, with tech supporting robust pedagogy. This book offers strategies and lesson ideas to help teachers make sure their instruction does just that.
Audience: K-12 educators
