Representative comments from seminar participants:

"Yes! It has renewed my passion for finding ways to work more writing into my classroom and given me solid reasons ... to approach writing in this fashion."

"Yes - I have more ideas about using both blogs and wikis."

"The best part of our workshop was ... turn[ing] some dim concepts into concrete ideas and methods."

"I think [by] utilizing these strategies my students may actually enjoy writing!"

"This seminar has been enormously helpful in helping me incorporate writing into my lesson plans."
