Past and Present Resources for Writers -- Have You Gone Completely Digital?
Here's What's on My Mind Today:
Have most teachers gone partially or completely digital? If so, what happens to the older "new" technologies? Not the computer models or applications --- the other various tools writers have used in the recent and not-so-recent past...
While pouring over research about the many tech tools available for use today in writers' workshop, I began to wonder if others with long-term views of technological apparatuses once deemed innovative for classroom use think of these tools or machines now, and whether some of these are still in use, as they may be pertinent to your work and/or level of comfortability. I am mostly thinking of non-digital tech that began making its way into classrooms in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early twenty-first century. What are some of these once-famous wonders? How did they assist students or you in your teaching? Funny and serious stories are welcome!
Also, I am attempting to develop a continuously balanced, insightful view with regard to older supportive tools and machines, present and evolving digital tech, and alphabetic, print texts -- which of these are in current use in your classroom as choices available to students? Which digital resources are part of your teaching toolkit? I invite you to share your thoughts.
