Assessing Students' Digital Writing

the long version

In this book, Troy Hicks--a leader in the teaching of digital writing--collaborates with seven National Writing Project teacher consultants to provide a protocol for assessing student's digital writing. This collection highlights six case studies centered on evidence the authors have uncovered through teacher inquiry and structured conversations about students' digital writing. Beginning with a digital writing sample, each teacher offers an analysis of a student's work and a reflection on how collaborative assessment affected his or her teaching. Because the authors include teachers from kindergarten to college, this book provides opportunities for vertical discussions of digital writing development, as well as grade-level conversations about high-quality digital writing.
