Teachers Teaching Teachers #171 – Troy Hicks and The Digital Writing Workshop, Part 2 of 3 – Exploring Author’s Craft – 10.07.09

In this second episode of a three-part series, our guest-host was Troy Hicks, author of The Digital Writing Workshop, and Director of the Chippewa River Writing Project at Central Michigan University. Troy continued to explore the principles and practices described in the book. For this second episode, we also welcomed four Michigan teachers to the conversation, and they discussed how they teach the craft of digital writing:

  • Dawn Reed of Okemos High School discusses how students craft audio essays in the form of podcasts
  • Aram Kabodian of MacDonald Middle School shares his insights on the process of composing digital stories and public service announcements
  • Sharon Murchie of Bath High School describes how she guides her students through the research process for creating multimedia senior projects
  • Shannon Powell of Central Montcalm Middle School in Michigan discusses her experiences as a new teacher as she has begun to use digital writing in her classroom, including her recent integration of “SSR with RSS” for a class of reluctant readers

Next, on October 14th, Troy and another group of teachers who are featured in his book will discuss the process of conferring and response to student writers as they create digital texts.
