• A-Conscious-Craft-An-Approach-to-Teaching-Collaborative-Computer-mediated-Composition - G S O L E

  Ruth Li "presents an innovative approach to the design and integration of collaborative writing projects using the Google Apps for Education online platform (OWI 4). The setting is a traditional, face-to-face high school English classroom in which students write in class simultaneously, each on separate devices, on shared Google Docs. In particular, I offer specific strategies for teaching students to write collaboratively in a variety of creative genres, including plays, poems, narrative essays, and speeches" (Explain broadly..., ¶1).

  • Students’ interactions with peers throughout the collaborative composing process influence their writing practices on the micro-level in relation to patterns of word choice, as well as simultaneously enhancing the macro-level issues of meaning, tone, and structure
    • Reflection and Limitations of the Approach, ¶1
  • in a sense, the peer review process is embedded within the structure of collaborative composition on a shared document, as edits as well as oral and written meta-commentary occur and recur throughout the lifespan of a Doc
    • This approach to collaborative composition assignments manifests baked-in peer review from the get go (Reflection and Limitations of the Approach, ¶1).

  "This Occasional Paper is designed to identify practices and resources to support the successful development and implementation of team-taught courses. We first identify a range of team teaching models and highlight some of their key features. We then turn to common challenges and key strategies for mitigating these challenges. Finally, we provide two resources for teaching teams: a planning questionnaire in Appendix A and a set of strategies for evaluating the success of team-taught courses..." (p. 2).

  • The fact that teacher impacts on behavior are much stronger predictors of their impact on longer-run outcomes than test-score impacts, and that teacher impacts on test scores and those on behavior are largely unrelated, means that the lion’s share of truly excellent teachers—those who improve long-run outcomes—will not be identified using test-score value-added alone
