NWP launches Digital Is website in November 2010
In addition to November being the month of NWP’s Annual Meeting, this month also ushered in the new NWP Digital Is website. Part knowledge base, part professional community, and part teaching provocateur, the Digital Is website explores the art and craft of writing, as well as associated teaching and learning of writing practices. However, this site is also designed to spark innovation and thought regarding education and culture in the new digital landscape.
A joint effort of NWP and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Digital Media and Learning Initiative, Digital Is culminates years of research and work. Focused on the art and craft of digital composition, the site is divided into four areas of focus, including a deep collection of curated work and projects from the NWP teacher network and drawing from community resources.
Teacher Consultants and more are encouraged to join the community, discuss, and participate.
