Issue #2 of The Rag is now online!!! http://www.etni.org/etnirag/ ==================================== -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Invitation to a lecture entitled, "An Introduction to Technology in the Writing Classroom" From: Marna Snyder <etaioffice@xxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, ETAI is pleased to invite you to attend a guest lecture on Monday, January 1st, at 4:30 p.m., in the English Department of Levinsky College of Education (Kiryat Chinuch, Tel Aviv). The topic will be, "Creating 'Open-Source' Classroom Communities: An Introduction to Technology in the Writing Classroom," by Dr. Janice W. Fernheimer of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York. This is a free lecture, open to all interested parties. It will take place in room 118. The 'Open Source' can be a productive model for collaborative classroom pedagogy. An Open Source approach to learning encourages students to take responsibility for their education and helps them improve critical thinking skills and writing abilities. As part of an open-source teaching ethic, blogs, wikis, and portfolio-based evaluation can be used to strengthen community and collaboration in the writing classroom. If you have any questions, please call Dr. Susan Holzman at 03-908-7070. ----------------------------------------------- Add yourself / Update your entry to "Who's Who on Etni" http://www.boker.org.il/etni/whoswho.htm -----------------------------------------------
