We'd love to have guests from all ETT shows if possilbe! Susan Ettenheim and Paul Allison are working on this together, and we're looking for others to help out.

Teachers Teaching Teachers #57 - 06.13.07 - What's old and what's new about blogging?

Paul Allison — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 22:56:30 -0500

Listen in as Christina Cantrill and Paul Oh from the National Writing Project, Kevin Hodgson from the Western Massachusetts Writing Project, and Felicia George from the New York City Writing Project -- plus Jason from Australia and two students from his school, along with Paul Allison and Susan Ettenheim describe ONE blog post, written by an 11th grader on Youth Voices.net. Paul directs our attention to the teacher-work and the student-work that went into producing this post. Our goal was to to collectively describe how blogging borrows from past writing pedagogy and seeks to go beyond it as well! It promises to be a very grounded, yet insightful conversation. We used a remote version of this Zoho Show during the webcast:
