“That’s Me in the Spotlight”—Creating Audience for Students
Friday May 2, 2025 11:15am - 12:00pm CDT
Silver 10
A student of mine said, “When it's actually published and other people are reading it, everyone kind of puts in more time and effort and just want it to be better." Yet research shows that most writing assignments are still for an audience of one—the teacher. How can we expand our students’ audiences with the use of technology? In this session, we’ll play with technologies, strategies, and activities that can expand students’ audiences, from simple formative writing to major final projects.
