Pagnucci, pt. 2

Community
"[T]here is much potential for technology to help previously silenced students to speak, to engage students in dialogue with a culturally rich and diverse new population, and to help students become real published authors" (Pagnucci & Mauriello, 2003, p. 80)

Pagnucci, G. S, & Mauriello, N. (2003). Balancing acts: Tightrope walking above an ever changing (Inter)Net. In P. Takayoshi & B. Huot (Eds.), Teaching writing with computers. An introduction. (pp. 79-91). Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company.

Based on our conversation yesterday, I thought this quote from our reading may be a good thing to put in the community section, particularly the aspect of giving students a voice and providing a place for dialogue.
