In school, student writing exists in many forms. Perhaps some of this writing is done on computers, but in schools with limited technology, much writing still occurs with pencil and paper, distancing students not only from 21st century “real world” writing experiences, but also from their peers in more affluent districts with ample technology access. Outside of school, writing looks much different than the pencil and paper provided in school, occurring on phones and tablets, using apps to text, post, chat, tweet, and email. Authentic writing in college and careers is done on computers, and when the technology available in certain schools is insufficient, students start out on an uneven playing field. Blogging in the classroom provides an opportunity to develop student writing both in and out of school, as well as impart imperative digital literacy skills. In my Boston Public Schools middle school classroom, which I will be leaving next year to teach at a “turnaround” high school, the access my students had to technology led to huge successes. They were engaged by technology, and as a result, they spent significant time developing, revising, and editing their work. They enjoyed reading their peers’ blogs, and as a result, their conceptions of how different writers could craft compositions grew. They received multiple sources of feedback on what they were doing well and what they could improve upon. They posted their final work to an authentic audience, and they felt valued as writers with something important to say. EHS, where I will begin teaching this September, is a turnaround Boston Public School with limited technology access. As a part of my efforts to impact student growth in a historically under-performing school, my students require ready access to technology in the English classroom. Support in this endeavor is sincerely appreciated.
