Collaborative Writing in the Cloud: A collection of resources for writing teachers

Home » Education Trends and Topics » Common Core » Collaborative Writing in the Cloud: A collection of resources for writing teachers

I’ve begun work on the website companion to Collaborative Writing in the Cloud: An essential guidebook aligned with Common Core standards that will be published this winter. (The draft is due now.) I’m referencing some of these pages in the book and am asking for your help if you’re involved in teaching writing, collaborative writing, or helping teachers. Right now, I’ve drafted the pages on Twitter hashtags, chats, and lists for writing teachers and also networks where teachers can join. You’re invited! The next page I’ll create will be open collaborative writing projects. Feel free to request to join the wiki but make sure that you list in the comments who you are and why you want to join so I’ll approve you and then feel free to join in. Who knows, something you add may be the very thing I missed and it may make it into the draft. Feel free to join in and help me get the right resources. Also, I”ve posted two recent presentations: Common Core in the Cloud and the ISTE 2012 presentation about Common Core and Collaborative Writing that I did with Dr. Leigh Zeitz, Jennifer Roberts, Suzie Nestico, and Julie Lindsay (with Ben Curran moderating.) Follow the link to join in and share.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
