Writing Instructors Take Note

While this is completely unrelated to technology, it is most definitely related to education! I wanted to share this wonderful resource on the off chance that there's a writing instructor reading my blog. A girl can hope, right?

I have been fortunate enough to make some fabulous professional connections with some very brilliant and talented women who contribute regularly to one of the best Basic Writing resources out there! If you can spare the time, go check out The Basic Writing e-journal. It offers a wealth of resource for writing instructors and accepts (and welcomes) contributions from other instructors. There's also a Facebook group, Council on Basic Writing, where ideas and strategies are shared, assistance is offered, and MANY great conversations take place. Everyone involved is working towards the same goal - providing the best writing instruction possible for students! I can't begin to tell you how much I've benefited from being a part of the group.

So, do yourself and your students a favor and check it out! I promise you won't regret it! That being said, I will leave you with a quote from one of my favorite authors and a little groovy music to get the creative juices flowing!

Why write? To learn, to describe and therefore see, to speak and therefore hear, to entertain, to inform, to persuade, to celebrate, to attack, to call attention, to make money, to promote, to advocate, to connect, to relate, to make, to share. ~ Donald M. Murray, A Writer Teaches Writing.
