The NWP Digital Is website, digitalis.nwp.org, is a project of the National Writing Project (NWP). | The NWP Digital Is website, digitalis.nwp.org, is a project of the National Writing Project (NWP). | ||
It has been designed to be a knowledge-base created and curated by its community of members. At Digital Is the community gathers resources, collections, reflections, inquiries, and stories about what it means to teach writing in our digital, interconnected world. | |||
Digital Is was designed and created based on some key and essential practices of our network, including, a) a belief in peer-based learning within a community of practice, ie. our motto of Teachers Teaching Teachers, and b) a focus on inquiry as stance (Lytle and Cochran-Smith, 2008). The website therefore is meant to support both inquiry into what literacy means today as well as to provide a place for teachers, learners, writers and creators of all kinds to share and publish their work within a space that supports both the surfacing of knowledge as well as opportunities to act upon and grow knowledge together. | |||
We are going into a full updating and redesign process in 2013 to further development both the community and its knowledge-building and sharing abilities within the site. We hope to gather ideas from the Mozilla community to support us in imagining how best to foster and grow Digital Is into the future. | |||
