rom a session at this year’s National Writing Project’s Annual Meeting.We were joined by Joe Bellino from the Maryland Writing Project, Karen McComas from the Marshall University Writing Project, and Christina Cantrill, a program associate with the National Writing Project.
Joe, Karen, and Christina were the facilitators of a session last month at the National Writing Project’s Annual 
Meeting titled Reading the Research: Media Education and Literacy in the 21st Century. This session and their conversation with us focused on a white paper published by the New Media Literacies Project at MIT titled Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century, by Henry Jenkins.
A few other teachers joined us as well to tell stories about how they teach digital writing and work with colleagues in their schools and Writing Projects:
- Susan Biggs and Kevin Hodgson from the Western Massachusetts Writing Project
- Fred Hass from the Boston Writing Project
- Beth Rimer, Ohio Writing Project
Enjoy! Read the paper, and continue the conversation in the cultures where you partiipate.
