How about some discussion on Arne Duncan who just made some really offensive remarks at NEA. I think we (NCTE)should respond somehow.

I'm getting in tomorrow (Wed) night, will stay through early evening Saturday, then fly back to my two incredible grandsons...the new arrival is Ethan Alexander LeCureux! I'm at the Marriott Riverwalk. Where are you?

Just a quick "hello" ... life has been nuts since the state convention (all that stuff I neglected for two months leading up to the event and piled on my desk has been demanding my attention). We all had a such a great time and you were a MAJOR part of it. I'll look forward to seeing you in TX!

At 3:14pm on September 7, 2008, Janet Swenson said…: Well...what do you think? Will we be able to walk in San Antonio, dear sister-of-mine?

At 6:16pm on September 1, 2008, Charles Youngs said…: The chief researcher was my colleague Nicole Roth, Ph.D. at Bethel Park High School (PA)in the fall of 2006. For her doctoral work, she was interested in my previous success with blogging. It was the first known study of its kind on the high school level student. Previous studies focused on college level students. She completed an 11-week study with 9th graders writing essays based on Pennsylvania State Sytem Assessment prompts (the Standards-based assessment used in PA to determine proficiency). Readers used the PSSA rubric to assess the student samples. Each class consisted of three groups: blog-writers, and two control groups--hand-writers and word-processor-writers. Three readers scored student papers before and after the 11-week period. The bloggers on average had high proficiency scores than either of the two control groups. Notably students surveyed did not report "liking" blogging more than other types of writing, although they performed better. This study suggests further research on why this is so. One hunch: modeling of students seeing each others work and ownership/integrity of writing to an authentic audience of peers.

At 1:57pm on September 1, 2008, Jeffrey N. Golub said…: Kathleen,
Thanks for joining the Early Career Teachers group. Much appreciated. And thanks also for linking me to your 'fragile thoughts' on your presidential talk. Fascinating subject you're delving into there. I would add something about "What are the new ways of writing and communicating *doing to us*?? How are they changing our ways of behaving and interacting with others?" If this helps, great! If not, just throw it away and I'll try to do better next time. Best of wishes to the best of colleagues.

Kathy and Stephen...what can I say except, "Wow!" The both of you went through a lot of effort, and that is most appreciated. Democracy in my mind is an action word.
