In this episode, award-winning educator Vicki Davis (that's me) explores how technology and innovative teaching strategies are revolutionizing the way we teach writing. From the inspiring story of Ms. Ezera Washington's transformative ELA classroom to practical tips on integrating tools like Book Creator, Minecraft, and even drones, this episode is packed with actionable insights for educators. Furthermore, I dive into this essential question by sharing 10+ practical, innovative strategies to transform writing instruction. Much of these are updates to chapters in my book Reinventing Writing published several years ago. I talk about the tools and ways you can better teach writing. This is part 1 which covers the tools, the writing landscape, and how teaching writing is changing. Part 2 will cover ideas from classroom teachers who are teaching writing now.
