Resources and Notes: Presenter - Brian Earley

 * Blogging:**

This is MAC only Brian shows an essay from a student-- and highlights some of the writing How can an English teacher "communicate" with a student about his/her writing? Write comments on paper Maybe speak with student for a minute before class BUT-- WHAT IF you could speak to every student-- the moment you grade the essay? AND/OR if kids could peer edit/reflect? Use notebook layout to record audio files directly into the document To access the menu-- go to view--> Notebook view To record audio-- Click on the Record button Embeds audio directly into document

Logistics: Brian uses a shared server place to house essays-- Allows access for him and all students Students choose two other students' essays to read and give audio feedback on, then saved back to server Now every student has his/her own essay with comments Brian embeds audio comments for students, too Students use comments to improve writing and resubmit essay

Helping students to improve their writing/grammar: Students submit audio comments (through the shared server) - Brian responds in audio format to the question. Q&A is then available for all students

Q&A with Brian: Can you go between Notebook and "Regular" view? Yes, but you might lose some formatting. Do you use online writing portfolios? No yet....
