Writing/Teachers and Digital Technologies: Technology/Teacher Training
Anthony T. Atkins
"This web originated from my experiences
as a new teacher of writing, one thrust into the technology-rich
classroom without specific training with technologies. Other new teachers
and myself have often debated what we might need to be better teachers
of writing in classrooms that frequently include LCD projectors,
Internet access, and 25-30 computers for our students. Rather than
claiming that the results reported here illustrate thoroughly what
others are doing to train new teachers with technology, this web can
only initiate further questions and discussions into technology training
for new teachers."
(C).omprehensive (O).nline (D).ocument (E).valuation
Jim Ridolfo
"As a teacher I’ve come to understand that I have a
civic obligation to teach strategies of online document evaluation that
connect digital networks with their material and political
realities. I need to help students understand, for example, why only
the United States refuses to use a country code (example: .uk for the
United Kingdom) in front of its military (.mil) and government (.gov)
top level domains (TLD’s). I need to be able to explain to students how
these types of hierarchical addressing schemes have a significant
impact - for certain audiences - on the rhetoric of documents that are
hosted from these top-level domains. I need to be able to explain how
this type of positionality has an impact and is impacted by current
social, political and material realities."
