Thank you for all the positive feedback! I'll continue to post videos of our practitioners at work if/when my organization (the National Writing Project) develops more.

Yes! It listens to experience and pays attention to what experience teaches. It introduces students to each other and helps them better to understand other people's points-of-view. This is not just a hoop to jump through for somebody else, it is a path to self discovery and the discovery of other people. We can only do this through narrative.

Wow! What a wonderful example of how technology is most powerful when it supports genuine and student-centered work. We are challenged by those who feel we are putting too much emphasis on technology. This project demonstrates that it is not the technology that is driving the learning, but rather the technology is a vehicle students can use to make their learning evident.

Reviews

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
