SECTION II – How Technology Impacts Student Writing and Research 1. In your experience, in what ways do the internet and other digital technologies, such as social media, Wikis, tools like GoogleDocs, cell phones and texting, and smartboards, impact your students’ writing abilities? Please give examples. 2. Some feel that today’s digital technologies (such as social media, Wikis, tools like GoogleDocs, cell phones and texting, and smartboards) provide students more opportunities to write, create their own content and express themselves than was the case in previous generations, thereby encouraging the development of skills such as creativity and the thoughtful articulation of ideas. Based on your experience, do you agree or disagree with this view? Please explain. 3. Some feel that today’s digital technologies (such as social media, Wikis, tools like GoogleDocs, cell phones and texting, and smartboards) are undermining students’ ability to focus and generally shortening their attention spans. Based on your experience, do you agree or disagree with this view? Please explain. 4. Compared with previous generations, do you feel your current students are more or less skilled at each of the following? Or do you think there is no real difference between present and past generations of students? Concentrating on, reading deeply, and thinking critically about long or challenging texts? Thoroughly researching an idea or assignment? Critically evaluating the information they gather? Formulating persuasive and/or well-informed viewpoints and arguments? Producing clear and cohesive written material? Expressing themselves creatively? 5. Overall, what do you see as the purpose or value of teaching students how to read and critically examine long or challenging texts? Is this a critical skill for today’s students to learn? Why or why not? How do you see it serving them in the future, if at all? 6. Overall, what do you see as the purpose or value of teaching students how to write long and/or formal texts? Is this a critical skill for today’s students to learn? Why or why not? How do you see it serving them in the future, if at all? p e winter n e t .o r g 92
Section III – Teaching Writing and Research 1. What has been the most effective assignment/classroom lesson/teaching approach you have used to develop your students’ writing skills? What specifically made it effective? Did it incorporate or address the use of digital technologies (such as social media, Wikis, tools like GoogleDocs, cell phones and texting, and smartboards), either in class or by students at home? 2. How often, if ever, do you encounter issues with or have to take into account students’ access to digital technologies when developing your lessons and assignments? Do most of your students have high-speed internet access at home? Do they generally have access to the digital devices they need (laptops, computers, etc.) to complete their assignments? 3. What does it mean to search for information in today’s digital environment? To what extent do your students have the skills for using a variety of search tools? How do they evaluate the credibility of sources? How do you teach them these skills, if at all? 4. How well do your students understand the concepts of fair use and plagiarism? Do you, personally, spend class time talking about fair use and/or plagiarism? Do you take any active steps to monitor your students’ work for plagiarism (for example, online resources such as turnitin.com)? 5. Please complete the following statement… “The biggest challenge in teaching my students to write effectively is…..(FILL IN THE BLANK)” 6. Thinking ahead ten years — to the year 2022 — how do you think writing will be taught in middle schools and high schools? What will be different? What will be the same? Will there be radical pedagogical changes over that time, or will writing be taught largely as it is today? p e winter n e t .o r g 93
