When kids write because they want to, not because we tell them to
This conversation will focus on building a wiki and blog platform that is both safe for elementary kids and provides a real-world audience. Some of the stories will share insight in to when school gets in the way of real learning and call on "the room" to brainstorm how to avoid the traps of grading and assigning what can be a very personal learning path.
Conversational Practice
We will build a collaborative wiki around how to develop a community of writers without letting school get in the way. We will use real elementary student writing as well as stories the kids and a teacher tells about where the writing comes from and where it goes!
