Agenda

Place conscious writing places value on local context and allows students to write about what they know -- themselves and their community. The idea is that if teachers can teach their students about their immediate surroundings and connect it to their learning, students will become more engaged in their studies. Participants will create examples of place conscious writing and ideas for publishing using 21st century tools such as PhotoStory and Web 2.0, interactive tools full of opportunities to read, write, and publish, encouraging students to become more active learners.
