One of the things I’m thinking about right now is the E-Anthology. Last year, this resource was headed up by one of the Teacher Consultants. Do we plan to keep this model, or will this become the responsibility of the Tech Liasion? Download the 2008_e-anthology_overview for participants (pdf) E-Anthology overview from the National Writing Project [...]

Hi All, Jenn has been wise enough to set us up with a wiki space for online collaborative work with the participants (and with each other). This free resource offers a lot of neat applications, also called ‘widgets’ that you can literally paste into the page. One of the more useful widgets is the Google [...]

Kathy–I’m reposting this so that it doesn’t get lost in the comments. Kathy says: I finally dug my way out of working on our school SIP curriculum and assessment material.
