Composing and Reflecting with Digital Video Poems
Special Invited Guests: Prof. David Bruce, Ph.D. & Prof. Suzanne Miller, Ph.D., University of Buffalo, SUNY
RECORDING SLIDES RESOURCES
This session will situate digital video (DV) composing within multimodal literacies. Specifically, we will provide teacher and student examples of composing DV responses to literary texts. As students create and share DV poems online, we have found an iterative process between source text and composed video that supports the interpretive process, just as written composing does. In addition, through a focused reflection assignment, students address the intentionality of their compositional choices to make their text interpretation explicit.
Helping Students See Their Own Growth Through Digital Writing
Featured Speaker: Aram Kabodian, Teacher Consultant, Red Cedar Writing Project
RECORDING SLIDES
Students often rush from one assignment to the next without reflecting on their own learning. This session will discuss strategies to help students keep track of their final drafts and consider what they have learned throughout the writing process. Methods discussed will include class wikis and digital writing portfolios.
Blogging in the Classroom: Purpose, Planning and Perseverance
Featured Speaker: Beth Rogers, 5th Grade Teacher, Clarkston Community Schools
RECORDING SLIDES RESOURCES
In this presentation, participants will think through the steps of beginning to blog with their students - setting purpose, choosing a platform, and creating interdisciplinary connections. We will consider the benefits and potential roadblocks with blogging through activities and ongoing discussion. Participants will learn how blogging can become an integral part of writing practice that extends beyond the classroom. We will approach this presentation using the Triple E Framework.
Digital Writing, Connected Learning, and the Civic Mission of Schools

RECORDING SLIDES
Digital composing, social media, the read/write web—these Internet-powered platforms for writing have opened up tremendous opportunity space for the reinvigoration for civic engagement by young people. In this talk, Eidman-Aadahl will look at recent research on youth and participatory politics, and suggest some ways that young people’s interests in community life can motivate the writing curriculum.
