Right after reading this, I worked Microsoft Forms more into my online courses. It is so helpful!

(I know, I’d rather use Google Forms too. But I’m actually not allowed.)

Very cool, Adam. This post is a great example of picking the low hanging fruit and making a beautiful cobbler of a feast. The idea at the center is this: Student writers view writing they do for teachers as disposable. They view writing that actually gets read by peers as worth keeping. That’s teaching for student ownership of their work and their learning. 🙏

Thanks! Google Forms is such a versatile tool for teaching writing, and as James Moffett explained, students writing for students eliminates many errors quickly.

Wait! YOU know Moffett? I've been wanting to start a podcast where I just read from "Teaching the Universe of Discourse." Push it to anyone who wants to hear it.
