    #DRCchat on Twitter – Digital Writing in K-12 Communities

    0
    By Paula M Miller on November 30, 2015 Yack, DRCchat, Blog Carnival 7, Hack & Yack

    Two weeks ago, we hosted a Twitter Chat, in concert with our most recent blog carnival, on Digital Writing in K-12 Communities. We were joined by, among others, Literacy Coach Amber White from North Branch Area Schools in Michigan. Last Spring, we interviewed her and other teachers about their work with Digital Learning Day – in this Twitter Chat, she offers more insights on bringing digital composition into the secondary education classroom. If you missed the chat, you can read the storify below. Be sure to check out the rest of our series in the Digital Writing in K-12 Communities blog carnival.

    (As of 2/2/2018 this storify has been archived and shared below. “Protected tweets” will show up as a link instead to the tweet as opposed to an image.)

    Ss in Grade 6 involved in digi-writing inspired by @Wonderopolis Ss ex: https://t.co/8qmP7obO0F #DRCchat

    — Amber White (@AWhite100) November 17, 2015

    Ss in Grades 5/6 using screencasting tools to think about writerly choices, explore expository text structures & author’s purpose. #DRCchat

    — Amber White (@AWhite100) November 17, 2015

    .@AWhite100 that's awesome. what do you think worked well about those examples? #DRCchat

    — Sweetland DRC (@SweetlandDRC) November 17, 2015

    @SweetlandDRC Digitally composing afforded Ss a wider palette of composition choices-vids, images, etc. #DRCchat

    — Amber White (@AWhite100) November 17, 2015

    @SweetlandDRC Also allows students to reflect on these writerly choices using screencasting tools. Ss ex. https://t.co/sOmF6W8Dam #DRCchat

    @AWhite100 what a cool use of screencasting to justify writing strategies;bet it makes the process of reflection more engaging too #drcchat

    — Leigh Meredith (@leighmeredith3) November 17, 2015

    @neilsimpkins Many uses for screencasting. Ss also use lots of digital writing collab tools-GDocs @padlet & digi-annotation tools #DRCchat

    — Amber White (@AWhite100) November 17, 2015

    @neilfsimpkins do you use screencasting to comment on students' online writing or "regular" word-processed writing as well? #drcchat

    — Leigh Meredith (@leighmeredith3) November 17, 2015

    https://twitter.com/neilfsimpkins/status/666420038807613440

    @neilfsimpkins What screencasting tools have you gravitated to?#DRCchat

    The DRC also did a review back in January of Screencast-O-matic that's worth checking out: https://t.co/PN4M21AVpV #drcchat

    — Leigh Meredith (@leighmeredith3) November 17, 2015

    @leighmeredith3 Agree. Love Screencast-o-matic. #DRCchat
