Navigate a Digital World by Seeing, Hearing, and Reading: A Tip for Tomorrow from Stacey

Two Writing Teachers Podcast

Stacey explores the power of pairing written explanations with oral directions to enhance understanding in the context of writing workshop. She provides an overview of Driveway, a Chrome Extension that allows educators to create step-by-step process guides with written descriptions, highlighted screenshots, and optional voiceovers. Learn how to create interactive walkthroughs to help students become more independent with the technology they use in writing workshop.

Here are some videos of Stacey’s sample guides created with Driveway (and then exported to YouTube):
