1. Enhanced Writing Instruction Using Technology

2. A Historical View  Paper and pen/pencil  Typewriter  Computer – printed  Computer – saved  Computer – shared (single-user)  Computer – shared (co-authoring)

3. A Personal Experience  High School – penmanship  College – a step back  Ekers vs Gushers  Typewriter  Computer lab on campus  Computer at home  Today  Computer in my pocket

4. Student Attitudes Toward Writing  One shot – good enough  Fostered by teacher only having time to grade it once.  Physical layout limitations of paper.  “good enough” vs “my best”  “Good is the enemy of great.” –Voltaire  Teachable moments aren’t always between the bells.

5. Hurdles in the Way of Best Product  Limitations of written product  space to insert clarifying details  time to rewrite  Perception of lost/wasted time

6. Classroom Instruction that Works - Marzano  Research Based Strategies: Chapter 4: Reinforcing Effort & Providing Recognition Chapter 5: Homework and Practice Chapter 6: Nonlinguistic Representations. Chapter 7: Cooperative Learning Chapter 8: Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback Chapter 9: Generating and Testing Hypotheses Chapter 10: Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers

7. Feedback in the Past  Limited to drafts – same for each student  Students were in a holding pattern until feedback from teacher  Not all students in the same stage of writing at the same time
