Video: an Important but Forgotten Medium
Featured Speaker: Eric Hammerstrom, Teacher Consultant, Northern Shores Writing Project
RECORDING SLIDES RESOURCES
Kids live in a world of very poorly created video. We know they will write for professors, so we teach them how to do that. We know they will write to bosses, so we teach them to do that. They may even write short stories some day, so we teach them that. THEY WILL DEFINITELY PRODUCE VIDEOS. But do we teach them how? This session will cover simple strategies for writing for video production--the most basic elements of shot technique and editing, as well as script formats students can use to pre-write for commercials and public service announcements. We will also explore how writing for video meets the Common Core State Standards.
Creating, Composing, and Connecting with Digital Literature Circles
Featured Speaker: Jeremy Hyler, Co-Director of The Chippewa River Writing Project
RECORDING SLIDES RESOURCES
First introduced by Harvey Daniels in the mid-90s, literature circles have grown into a significant teaching practice. Stepping away from typical classroom discussion, this session presents digital literature circles and how to effectively incorporate social media into students’ reading lives; exploring tools such as Celly, Schoology, QR codes, and many more.
Developing Digital Literacies: Teachers in Transition
Special Invited Guests: Prof. Kristen Turner, Ph.D., Fordham University, Rebekah Shoaf, Emilie Jones, Ivelisse Brannon, Lauren King
RECORDING SLIDES RESOURCES
In the summer of 2013, a group of New York City English teachers formed the Fordham Digital Literacies Collaborative (FDLC) as a site for communal exploration and development of their digital practices as writers and teachers of writing and in an effort to improve literacy instruction in K-12 schools. Through the network of the FDLC, teachers write together, read professional texts collaboratively, share their best practices in teaching digital literacies, and conduct outreach into school communities. During this webinar, members of the FDLC will share their stories of the Collaborative's impact in and beyond their classrooms.
Increasing Student Engagement & Voice with Digital Writing
Panel: Paul Allison, Chris Sloan, and Dawn Reed, moderated by Troy Hicks

As students become more fluent with digital writing tools and online communities for sharing their work, we can then invite them to think more deeply about what they read, write, and share. This panel discussion will introduce participants to the Youth Voices community, "a school-based social network that was started in 2003 by a group of National Writing Project teachers." Currently serving hundreds of students from across the country as they produce a variety of digital writing projects, find out more about the ways in which teachers use Youth Voices to engage their students in authentic writing experiences.
