I'm John Martin, your #NHed host & rebooting writer. I currently serve the #Interlakes school district as their Dir of Innovation & Tech.

#NHed Q1: What are some ways we can make writing more meaningful for our learners?

OHara_HPS Oct 23 @ 7:12 PM EDT

Hello from Long Island. No favorite author, but love Skillful Leader and Skillful Teacher series from Research for Better Teaching #nhed

OHara_HPS Oct 23 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1: Ask #students to write for a purpose. #nhed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:14 PM EDT

SR from MA. My favorite writer is Richard Bach (author of Illusions: Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah) #NHed

Mr_EFisher Oct 23 @ 7:14 PM EDT

A1: guide Ss thinking in the process- what do you want to say, how do you want to say it, and most of all WHY do you need to say it #nhed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:14 PM EDT

@OHara_HPS Such an important point for me - provide a better answer to the Ss question "Why?" than "it's good to practice." #NHed

@gallianstone LOVE #RichardBach's books! Jonathan Livingston Seagull is one of my lifelong favorites. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:16 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher And perhaps also provide them w/ an avenue that shows their writing matters! #NHed

OHara_HPS Oct 23 @ 7:16 PM EDT

A1: Model for students that writing is a process. @ClaudineDiMuzio #nhed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:17 PM EDT

A1. Writing is another form of communication. We blur the lines intentionally to help students see it as another tool in their toolbox #nhed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:19 PM EDT

#NHed Other thoughts on ways to help make writing meaningful?

OHara_HPS Oct 23 @ 7:19 PM EDT

A1: think out loud while modeling writing as a continuous process. @ClaudineDiMuzio @kreingold0104 #nhed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:19 PM EDT

@edventures me too. In my "blog posts to write" file I have a note about JLS as metaphor for Aspergers. Maybe I'll write it someday. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:20 PM EDT

#NHed Q2: What are some non-tech related approaches to meaningful writing?

OHara_HPS Oct 23 @ 7:21 PM EDT

A1: Schedule celebrations of writing... model a #growthmindet and teach #grit #nhed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:23 PM EDT

#NHed I wonder what would happen if we were to address writing in real contexts such as other subjects, rather than as a separate entity?

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:24 PM EDT

@gallianstone Visualization techniques like mind maps, storyboards, free flow writing are powerful tools for writers! #NHed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:25 PM EDT

@edventures that's where my class does almost all of their writing. Content gives us vocabulary and scaffolds something to say. #NHed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:26 PM EDT

@edventures having spent so long with Ss w/ visual impairments, this is my first year using them in a LONG time, it's been really fun! #NHed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:28 PM EDT

#NHed is quiet tonight!

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:30 PM EDT

#NHed Q3: How can tech help us make writing more meaningful?

techholly Oct 23 @ 7:30 PM EDT

Q2: TALK to get your ideas and writing juices flowing. Kids need help getting started , especially with exexcutive functioning needs. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@gallianstone Yes it is. Starting to worry about #NHed's longterm viability.

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:31 PM EDT

#NHed A3: The first thing that comes to mind is giving Ss a literal voice - original podcasting or spoken word pieces.

OHara_HPS Oct 23 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A2: Ask students to write in pairs. The exchange of ideas and cooperative revisions reinforce writing as a process. @ClaudineDiMuzio #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:33 PM EDT

#NHed Q3a: Have you heard of #Transmedia? Check out https://t.co/qGeIMnRW9m to learn more. How can we extend writing?

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:33 PM EDT

A3. Tech has the power to connect writing with an authentic audience for immediate feedback w/o having to target/mail letters #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:33 PM EDT

@OHara_HPS @ClaudineDiMuzio One of my fav HS experiences was an after-school creative writers workshop. We did a lot of peer work. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:34 PM EDT

#NHed Here are a few #Transmedia links. The first is: https://t.co/GcCh3yyL8K

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:34 PM EDT

A3. Tech also allows for real-time collaborative writing. A far cry from the "pass-the-book" model we did in my college days! #NHed

techholly Oct 23 @ 7:34 PM EDT

Q3: Tech brings an authentic audience, collaboration and accessibility. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:35 PM EDT

#NHed The second #Transmedia links is: https://t.co/aMq92uQv6i

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:35 PM EDT

@techholly We hear this a lot. What specific ways have you seen or practiced that others could adopt? #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:36 PM EDT

#NHed The third #Transmedia link is: https://t.co/LvXX0SZPw9

techholly Oct 23 @ 7:36 PM EDT

#nhed Q3: In the case of my own kids, without tech they can barely read their own writing. Without tech they would not be fluent writers.

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:36 PM EDT

@techholly Authentic audiences provide legitimacy to the process to be sure! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:37 PM EDT

#NHed Q3b: Have you tried writing using #AugmentedReality?

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:38 PM EDT

#NHed Here's an #AugmentedReality authoring link: https://t.co/1ucEOoJuQe

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:40 PM EDT

#NHed Q4: Writer’s block can be a big obstacle to learning. What tools, tips, tricks do you have to help writers develop their ideas?

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:40 PM EDT

I didn't read all the links, but if I understood it correctly transmedia strikes me as contrary to the principles of UDL. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@gallianstone I'm curious, how so? #NHed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:44 PM EDT

My Ss struggle with both what to say and how to say it. We provide models & scaffolds, & flexibility to work when inspiration strikes #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@gallianstone That's a great point, and one that is not one I see much in edu - flexibility v forcing writing to happen. #NHed

techholly Oct 23 @ 7:46 PM EDT

Q4: Our teachers enjoy using the secret door as a story starter and google maps connection to writing. https://t.co/0uKbNkOsWi #nhed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@edventures you have to access all the media to fully appreciate the whole, vs being able access all via your most effective channel. #NHed

#NHed A4: sometime you have to just keep writing crap until the good stuff starts to flow again. It's painful.

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:49 PM EDT

@edventures in the real world, ppl choose when to do work w/i certain deadlines. I try to give my Ss that same flexibility. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:50 PM EDT

#NHed Q5: Your turn - what questions, thoughts, ideas do you have to share on Making Writing Meaningful?

nataleestotz Oct 23 @ 7:50 PM EDT

#NHed In daily writing with my Ss I tell them to follow their thoughts. Sometimes the simple act of putting thought on paper is needed

techholly Oct 23 @ 7:52 PM EDT

Q5: How do we move from the traditional forms of writing to more contemporary genres with our students? #microwriting #nhed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:52 PM EDT

@nataleestotz @gallianstone Even giving them an opportunity to write off topic for a bit to get the creative process engaged. #NHed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@nataleestotz one of our daily qs is "what are you thinking about?" Expressing what's on your mind -->being creative. #NHed

nataleestotz Oct 23 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A5: choice in style & topic &authentic purpose & audience. You have to care about what your writing & who will read it! True 4 Ss & Ts #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:53 PM EDT

Are any of my #NHed friends going to have a go at #NaNoWriMo this year?

nataleestotz Oct 23 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@edventures @gallianstone True! & teach them to find different ways into a topic or their learning. Takes things to a deeper level. #NHed

nataleestotz Oct 23 @ 7:55 PM EDT

@gallianstone I love that! #NHed

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:55 PM EDT

A5. We've been saying it all night. More opportunities. More supports. More audience. More writing. #NHed

j6panus Oct 23 @ 7:55 PM EDT

@edventures #nhed pretty sure #pesk8 will again.

gallianstone Oct 23 @ 7:56 PM EDT

@edventures I would love to say yes, but probably not. i've got 6 deadlines b4 Thanksgiving. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:58 PM EDT

I know it was quiet, but thanks for sharing your thoughts on Making Writing Meaningful on our #NHed chat!

edventures - Moderator Oct 23 @ 7:58 PM EDT

Do you have a suggestion for future #NHed chats? Interested in co-moderating? Let me know! And bring a friend next week!

nataleestotz Oct 23 @ 7:59 PM EDT

@edventures glad I caught the end, my friend! #nhed
