Thanks for visiting developingwriters.org, a blog about composition in the digital age, contexts for learning, issues of teaching and learning, theories of development, and global youth. My name is Anna Smith, and I am a teacher, teacher educator and educational researcher currently working on my dissertation research in at New York University.
This site is a companion to the recently released book Developing Writers: Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age written with Richard Andrews of the London Institute of Education.

What better way to do that than to create a companion “networked screen” with all its dynamic and interactive affordances?
