Next #FYCchat Topic

This week, Wednesday, February 2 (February? Wait, when did that happen?) at 9 PM EST, the topic will be resources. In other words, the resources you use to "enhance" your class: free online resources, social media, on-site resources such as writing centers or tutors, or publisher-provided resources (such as, but not limited to, Norton's Writing area or textbook-specific teacher resources like assignments, tests, syllabus, etc).

Spread the word! Let us share what we like (and don't like) that's out there for us!

Archive of #FYCchat from 1/26/11

Talking about grammar certainly sparked quite a conversation! It was probably the best #FYCchat to date. It included discussion about best practices for teaching grammar, incorporating writing center consultations, defining grammar, using educational technology, and considering error policies. 


For those of you who didn't make it to the party or want to relive the moment, here is the archive from January 26's #FYCchat:

Look, we're famous!

Sort of. But a shout-out in the Chronicle is no small thing.  Thanks to #FYCchat-er Erin Templeton for writing the piece about us.

Remember, Wednesday, 9 PM EST, we're talking about grammar this week. Ugh. I mean, yippy! Grammar!

Topic for this Wednesday's Chat (01/26)

We're going to be talking about grammar: Do you teach grammar in your First Year Composition class? Why or why not? How do you teach it or integrate it into the course? Any good exercises, essays, textbooks, approaches that work particularly well?

Also, look tomorrow (Monday) on the Chronicle's ProfHacker blog...

See everyone on Wednesday night, 9 PM EST. Remember, follow #FYCchat on Twitter!
