Writing for Careers: Feedback and Assessment
http://writingforcareers.blogspot.com/2009/11/feedback-and-assessment.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Providing Feedback to Teachers. When providing feedback to my instructors (such as when they have curricular ideas), I try to use email because of four advantages it offers:. It's in writing so that they can refer to it conveniently. It's portable (they can access the feedback wherever they have Internet access). Email is an easy way to create dialog with an ongoing transcript. My "Help Topics Wiki" Rubric. I decided to create a rubric for assessing student wikis. Earlier i...

Writing for Careers: Screencasting
http://writingforcareers.blogspot.com/2009/11/screencasting.html
Monday, November 9, 2009. I published my podcast last week, so this week I tried a screencast. I used the free camstudio. That Rick and Pete referred to in class. It is robust for a free program, and I recommend it. The pop-up text boxes take quite a bit of choreography, a process that would be unnecessary if one used voice instructions. However, there are multiple reasons that I felt like written directions were the ideal accompaniment to the screencast:. I hope you will view my screencast. It’...

Writing for Careers: Encouraging Digital Writing for Computer Students with Wikis
http://writingforcareers.blogspot.com/2009/10/encouraging-digital-writing-for.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. Encouraging Digital Writing for Computer Students with Wikis. I feel fortunate that I have a lead computer programming teacher who wants his students to engage in digital writing. He comes from the IT industry and fully understands the value of written communication for computer professionals. Especially for two-year college graduates, strong communication skills are vital in this down job market. Wikis for IT Students. Practicing writing for technically savvy and not technicall...

Writing for Careers: Final Project: Faculty In-Service Training on Web 2.0
http://writingforcareers.blogspot.com/2009/12/final-project-faculty-in-service.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. Final Project: Faculty In-Service Training on Web 2.0. My final project is a prezi (innovative online presentation tool) of how to teach with Web 2.0 tools. Major Categories of My Presentation. To distill all the tools we've learned into what can be applied in my two-year career college context, I had to consider:. My college's job-placement mission. The college's technological capabilities/limitations. How to motivate faculty to want to use these tools. The blog section ends w...

Writing for Careers: Comics in the Curriculum
http://writingforcareers.blogspot.com/2009/11/comics-in-curriculum.html
Saturday, November 14, 2009. Comics in the Curriculum. At first blush, comics might not seem to have a place in the career-oriented college. That was my knee-jerk reaction. But after reading about them, looking at examples, and trying three different comic-making sites on my own, I have found useful applications. Http:/ www.makebeliefscomix.com/Comix/? For this comic, I used makebeliefscomix. The second comic I created used Comic Life. The third comic I created used an internet-based site called toondoo.

Writing for Careers: E-portfolios and Reflection
http://writingforcareers.blogspot.com/2009/12/e-portfolios-and-reflection.html
Sunday, December 6, 2009. This was one of my favorite assignments for the term because it required me to do two things I had been thinking about doing anyway:. Revising my blog into a portfolio. Finding a free, professional looking host for electronic portfolios for my college's graphic design students. For making blogger into an e-portfolio. With some experimenting of settings and layout, I made a shell for a free, professional looking e-portfolio. Reflection on My Learning. I had heard of wikipedia and...
