TTT#542 Join a conversation with NYC Writing Project teachers about Youth Voices and LRNG
Channel: Paul Allison
Date: 20/07/2017

Two invitations in one message here. 

FIRST, we want to ask you to write comments on the posts of 30 youth who are learning English and digital media at the same time this summer in the New York City Writing Project's "ELLs Summer in the City" program, which is funded by the NYC DOE's Division of English Language Learners and Student Support.

Please go see what they are doing at https://youthvoices.live Keep in mind that these young people are learning the language, yet are bold enough to publish their stories and poems and thoughts for the world. It's hard to measure what an impact you might have by writing back to a few of our youth! All you have to do is leave your name and email address under Comments. 

You can also see their reflections on each day in their Google Community https://goo.gl/usdDVz and a lot of our curriculum for this three-week program is available as LRNG playlists, linked on this page: https://youthvoices.live/summer2017 

SECOND, we want to invite you to join the teachers in this program, members of the New York City Writing Project. We meet on Teachers Teaching Teachers http://edtechtalk.com/ttt on THURSDAYS at 1 pm ET/10 am PT -- the end of our week. We meet to talk about Youth Voices, LRNG, teaching ELLs, connected learning, assessment, badges, playlists, and how much we love the youth we are working with!
