Tutoring with My Laptop: Out of the Cubicle onto the Internet, by Susan Dominguez - International Writing Centers Association This is my 4th year as a Writing Resource Center consultant at Case Western Reserve University. We tutor undergraduate and graduate students, domestic and international, in 30 or 60 minute sessions in locations across campus, from the Schools of Nursing and Engineering, to the library and the central WRC locations. My own graduate training as a writing center consultant was in the “traditional” writing tutorial method: face to face in a cubicle or at a table, pencil in hand. This paper is intended to open dialogue about these approaches using the Internet in consulting sessions, both f2f and virtual. Some of the questions I pose for discussion are as follows: How does this technology usage affect our core tutoring? This contribution to writing center conversation and pedagogy represents our efforts, as conscientious writing tutors, to actively seek new ways to engage our students as learning styles evolve with technology.

Come usare Google My Maps a scuola Un percorso sulla didattica per competenze articolato in 6 passi per comprendere cosa sia, come possa essere implementata nella didattica e documentarsi sui temi e problemi che l'approccio per competenze chiama in causa. Ho scelto contributi di autori che per autorevolezza, chiarezza espositiva, ricchezza e completezza delle informazioni, potessero fornire un itinerario introduttivo al tema. Non sempre concordo con tutto quello che viene sostenuto in questi interventi intorno alle competenze, ma penso anche che tutti offrono spunti interessanti e stimolanti. Le risorse sono quelle che io conosco, sono certo che esistano altri contributi interessanti e utili e quando ne verrò a conoscenza li segnalerò. Tutte le risorse sono liberamente fruibili e/o scaricabili. Il problema: cosa sono queste competenze? Le definizioni di competenza che vengono generalmente fornite risultano spesso insoddisfacenti perché: non si comprende il carattere specifico della competenza, che: 1. Lavorare per Competenze
Writing Out Loud: Google Docs for Live Writing, Revision, and Discussion - Brandon Walsh I have been using Google Docs as a part of my teaching for almost two years now. The idea first came about in an advanced course on Academic and Professional Writing. We talked a lot about editing in the class, and many of the conversations about style took this shape: Student A: “Something about this word feels strange, but I don’t know what it is.” Hard to wrap your head around, right? The setup requires a projector-equipped classroom and that students bring their laptops to class. The template of the Google Doc consists of a blank space at the top for displaying the sentence under question and a series of workspaces for each student consisting of their name and a few blank lines. We usually turn to the exercise when a student feels a particular sentence is not working but cannot articulate why. Obviously Writing Out Loud works better on micro-edits, revisions at the level of the sentence. You can find a copy of the template here.
