Welcome

July 30, 2015


Dear Teacher Campers,

We want welcome our 2015 PCWP participants. This summer institute is going to be different than any other we’ve ever experienced. It is an experiment of sorts. We will only be meeting 2 days in person. Our first day will be on Monday, July 6th beginning at 9:00 am in Carr building, Room 191. We will introduce the program and our book study, and the plan for the next week. We will meet only one more time in person! Most of the content will be digital in nature.

The PCWP institute will increase your motivation as a writer, encourage you to implement new types of writing into your classroom, and build your confidence as a teacher of writing. To begin our time, we would like you to view a short video for me! Chapter 8 in our book, Crafting Digital Writing, will be flipped.  This means we are going to start with a little discussion from Chapter 8 about the drawbacks of implementing digital writing in the classroom. Here is the link to the video. You can copy and paste this link into your browser. Please watch this video before class begins. We will be discussing the contents on the first day.


Please don’t forget to bring your IRS forms on Monday. The form was attached to an email you received from us previously. Also, if you have changed your name after attending ASU, you will need to call the registrar to get your identity updated.  You should start calling as soon as you get this letter!

Your parking pass for Monday is included with this email. You are encouraged to bring a laptop or other digital device. Lunch on Monday will be provided, but you may want to bring your own snacks and drinks to tide you over.


We are looking forward to meeting you soon!
