Making Writing and Literacy Learning Connections<\/strong><\/a>
\nDescription: If “digital” is how we write, share, and participate today and into the future, what does that mean for the teaching of writing and for learning?
\nJoin a National Writing Project<\/a> study group as we explore these questions together through our own experiences and those of the NWP Digital Is<\/a> community. Each week we’ll focus on a different aspect of inquiry and practice related to writing, teaching and connected learning.

\"syndic-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Syndicated Education in Distributed Learning Environments<\/strong><\/a>
\nDescription: In education, schools create coherence based on \u2018Conceptual Orientation\u2019 (i.e. sense making), illustrating how theories and knowledge are related. \u00a0Following the emerging trend of Distributed Learning Environments used in Networked Learning, teachers also need to include \u2018Spatial Orientation\u2019 (i.e. way finding) to answer questions like: Where do I find useful Learning Resources (i.e. salience)? \u00a0How are these resources interconnected (i.e. pattern recognition)? \u00a0What is the underlying message (i.e. trajectory)? \u00a0During this course, you will create, deliver and manage an educational event that aggregates the latest work from participants within the cohort into one location. \u00a0This allows Peer-to-Peer (P2P) learning and keep the work they do in their own Personal Learning Environment (PLE).
\nDates: June 25-July 14, 2012<\/p>\n

\"english-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n
