My Question

“How can I effectively use technology to engage students in writing?”

It was important for me to narrow my question in a way that was more focused in order to conduct more specific research on my topic. So far I have discovered resources from my muses; Elyse Eidman-Aadahl and David Rose. These muses have published extensively and conducted research in writing and UDL. Elyse Eidman-Aadahl is associated with the National Writing Project that incorporates technology in the digital world into writing. There is an emphasis on design, collaboration, and sharing to improve and publish writing. New ways to create writing have been developed and should be considered with writing in the classroom. David Rose has made contributions to the UDL Framework. Students should be engaged in writing. It is important that learning is presented and learned in a variety of ways. Digital media provides many different ways to meet the needs of learners through modeling, scaffolding, progress monitoring, feedback, assessment, and presentation. These aspects and resources have helped begin my journey to help my students become 21st century digital writers.
