Writers are networked.
This is really good news.
This is really challenging news.

Common Core
The idea...is to reduce writing "opinion untethered to evidence" and "decontextualized" writing—writing
not based on the reading of a text—in favor of writing that requires students to read, comprehend, and respond to text, grounding their interpretations
in evidence found there. That shift reflects what young people can expect in college and work.
Reading to promote writing,writing to develop reading.
But, what DOES change?
What is nowUNcommon
about writing?
NCTE Literacies
Literate 21st Century readers and writers must:
• Develop proficiency with the tools of technology • Build relationships with others to pose and solve
problems collaboratively and cross-culturally • Design and share information for global
communities to meet a variety of purposes • Manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of
simultaneous information • Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media
texts • Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by
these complex environments
“Design and share information for global communities
to meet a variety of purposes.”

In a networked world,writing must be authentic.

“Design and share information for global communities
to meet a variety of purposes.”
“Sharing” writing
In a networked world, writing must be transparent.
My six-year-olds ARE blogging for millions of strangers, many of whom take the time to help them learn. “Strangers” have taken the time to comment, to encourage and to help my students learn many things
that I could never have taught them on my own.
In a networked world,writing must be connected.
“Designed” for connections.
tl;dr
“Linked” for connections.
Links
“Comment-able” for connections.
Publishing is now a midpoint, not an endpoint.
Writing might be collaborative
What else?
Let’s write
How do we prepare our students to write effectively in environments that
don’t yet exist?
