Welcome

This site is to be a place for participants in National Writing Project Summer Institutes to share their writing via podcast. We believe that teachers need audiences for the good work that they're doing in their Summer Institutes at their local writing project sites. This podcast exists to provide them an outlet for all the good stuff.
Participating sites, to begin with, are the Colorado State University Writing Project and the New York City Writing Project.
On the right side of the blog, you'll see a link to the podcast feed. Stick this feed into your podcast aggregator, such as i-Tunes, and you'll be able to listen to all of the content from writing project participants.
Are you a tech liaison or a staff member with a local writing project and you'd like to post your site's content here? E-mail me for more information.
