I am a teacher and lifelong learner, and I have always been interested in the power of authorship to promote learning. My professional experience includes curriculum design, professional development, education research, educational media production, and teaching at the K-12 and graduate levels. I believe that Web 2.0 offers many compelling new ways to engage students in both the cognitive and social aspects of authorship, yet I think we have barely begun to realize its promise in the field of education. My current research aims to further this goal by investigating the potential for digital communication media to support the teaching of composition and promote the development of authorship, literacy, and content understanding among students at the intermediate and secondary levels.

Top of the new year to you, Marielle, and congrat's on an apparently successful move of your Authorship 2.0 blog to a new location.
I'm looking forward to reading more there of your views on "authorship and learning in the digital age" (Tagline).
Happy New Year! I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT. We'd really like to get more students involved from the state!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Marielle,
For authoring web content online have you tried WiZiQ's virtual classroom or authorstream's web based power point viewing platform?

am interested in getting my 125 high schoolers collaborating online--would you know of any networks for me?
Thank you, Marielle!
