To all of our YWP Schools Project sites:
We really would appreciate your help in our survey/writing prompt work. If you could please spend 20-30 minutes with your students this would help us -- and you.
Please help us assess the impact of your work on the YWP Schools Project sites by having your students take our fall survey (5-7 minutes) and complete our fall writing prompt (20 minutes). The survey and prompt are vitally important in helping us to establish that these sites help you teach, and help your students become better writers and better digital citizens. This can help you justify the need for more computers and the kind of support YWP provides to both teachers and students.
The fall survey is located at [yoursitename]/fall2012survey Read more »
