"The collection editors...suggest...that service learning and TESOL are becoming more visible and that there are questions as to whether the partnerships can be as mutually beneficial as they are billed to be." https://t.co/eI7RtnlR3c

"The important message from this book is that when students learn to investigate and write about their places, and see themselves as members of communities, then their education becomes more meaningful to them..." https://t.co/zB0DuhqkpT

"Issues of representation aside, Holmes’s book makes a solid case for pursuing public writing pedagogy while emphasizing that the aim in doing so is much larger than any writing classroom.. instructors must go public...to preserve the greater public good." https://t.co/38ZsuCTDxX

"The students in my spring 2017 graduate Literacy and Community Issues class developed a new term as part of our classroom vocabulary: starfishing. They coined this term in response to Paul Feigenbaum’s [book,] Collaborative Imagination..." https://t.co/bPPoICV2rj

"Book publishing in the twenty-first century is becoming more accessible and writing-based literacies more common as platforms such a Wattpad have emerged to offer writers a platform for ebooks that is similar to that which YouTube offers video makers." https://t.co/4m1PxuKJB5

@UNG_FYC We appreciate the shout-out, @UNG_FYC! We'd also like the plug

"...our discipline’s use of the term ['the streets'] can be seen in two ways: 1) as co-opting a term used by people who identify with the streets, or 2) as joining these people in employing their own terminology." https://t.co/Yv64BpLjU6

@NCTE_CCCC "Sorry, this promo is not valid" is the error message we're getting when we try to book @NCTE_CCCC. Great idea to help ease the expense of the conference for #4C18.

Much on my mind these days: the value to LISTENING to students—not in search of error, nor for shoring up one’s own sense of superiority, nor even as an act of generosity—but as colleagues less experienced than oneself #academiatwitter #MSDstrong @CitationProject @SandraJamieson

"...writers and staff talked often about circulation and the value of accidental readers. Barbershops, hair salons, and diners were locations where copies of the journals were left, so they could be picked up, maybe read, maybe carried somewhere else..." https://t.co/0kDmFjE4O9

"I learned [my grandfather's] history when I attended...a community-based history exhibit
and laid eyes on a photograph of him working on the railroad in Montana. He was
nineteen years old." https://t.co/YwV9Wput8Y

"My fan writing has led to more than a few tense, and often theoretically
steeped, conversations with colleagues who questioned my production of fan
materials..." https://t.co/3FwE17RtVf
