In This Issue
Welcome to the Fall 2013 ASU Writing Programs Writing Notes newsletter. As Writing Programs continues to explore new and exciting tools and methods for effectively teaching writing, we wanted to launch the fall newsletter in Digication, the software currently being piloted to collect and showcase student work in Writing Programs classes. Underlying this movement to showcase student work online is the desire to continue developing approaches to teaching writing using emerging technology.
This issue of Writing Notes focuses on the developments that are occurring throughout Writing Programs and celebrating the achievements of the fall semester. We invite you to check out the sections listed in the menu above as well as the pages located on the sidebar within each section to read more about the exciting work of ASU Writing Programs.
The stories and features located in this newsletter attempt to demonstrate the capabilities of Digication for uploading content. This is just an example of what is possible using Digication; many options are available through this platform.
Using the links above, please check out stories about ASU Writing Programs Events, stories about Writing Programs Initiatives, Introductions to New WP Teachers, and the Kudos and Milestones section of the newsletter.
At the bottom of each page, you'll find the option to comment on the content. Please share your thoughts with us.

Call for Submissions
Writing Notes is looking for contributors for the Spring edition. We invite book reviews of approximately 500 words on pedagogical texts of interest to the Writing Programs. We're asking for 150-word submissions on "Classroom Strategies that Work," a continuing segment devoted to sharing with other Writing Programs teachers the practices we employ in our own classroom. Have any article submissions or suggestions? Please share them with us. And don't forget to submit your Kudos and Milestones during the next semester. Submission information wil be sent out early in the semester. If there is something we have not mentioned that you would like covered in Writing Notes, let us know by commenting.
