New book on teaching digital writing

[Richard Beach]

My new book, Teaching Writing Using Blogs, Wikis, and Other Digital Tools, was published last week by Christopher Gordon. It provides a lot of specific information about using these Web 2.0 digital writing tools to teach writing.

Richard, I'm looking forward to reading the book. I run two very relevant websites on teaching writing. Time4Writing.com provides eight week online writing tutorials to students using a customized curriculum for student by grade and skill level. Frankly, it's an online way to teach very traditional writing lessons.
The Blog Writing Course is for adults and it teaches adults all the stuff that usually takes bloggers about a year to figure out on their own. Also, it provides people with an immediate audience and feedback from their own teacher and the other students.
We are looking at how we might take the next step to combine and extend the two and create an online course for writing teachers on how to use blogs (and other 2.0 tools) to teach writing. Any ideas on collaborating?
