Hi,
I am asking for your help. I am taking a graduate English course on technology and writing. As I have recently entered into a web-based, cyberEnglish model of teaching writing in my classroom, I thought I'd do a case study on that and on the ce movement in general. As you are a ce teacher, I was hoping you might be able to take a few minutes and answer some questions. I would really appreciate it as I need all teh first hand information I can get.
How do you define ce?
Why did you decide to implement this strategy in your classroom?
What difficulties did you encounter in setting up and running a ce classroom?
What are the advantages of ce?
What are the disadvantages of ce?
Any other comments on ce that you would like to make.
What is your website URL?
I know this is a very busy time of year. If you are not able to answer these questions, I totally understand.
Thank you.
I have already gotten a partial response from one of the people I emailed. I am hopeful that I can get some more responses before the end of the weekend. The hard part about that is that it is the end of the school year in much of the country. Sure, I am out of school, but in some places this is the last week. Or next week is--or any week through the end of June apparently. I feel bad about asking these people to give up some of their time to help me out. In fact, that is part of the reason it took me so long to make myself write the darn thing. I am also considering posting it to the engteach-talk listserv. That could potentially catch people whose email addresses I couldn't find. There is a list (a little out of date, but a list) of teachers who have a web presence on Ted's site. I know a lot of the teachers there from the listserv. I am pretty sure that Ted has been as big an inspiration to them as he has to me. He seems to be the father of the movement.
