This video was developed by Shannon Carter, July 2009, as an introduction to the 2009 launching of the National Conversation on Writing.
Given the exciting ways in which the NCoW project has grown since its earliest stages in 2007, it seemed important to introduce viewers to NCoW’s current form and something of the trajectory it took to become what it is today (2009).
The video provides an introduction to the National Conversation on Writing (NCoW), including its two key functions: browse and contribute. Begins with a tour of some of the items contained in the NCoW archives, moves on to a brief history of NCoW, then leads to a request for contributions. Coupled with the various support items found at ncow.org (consent forms, submission forms, video call for submissions, etc), "Calling All Writing Teachers" offers viewers what they need to get involved with the National Conversation on Writing.
