\nTopic<\/strong>: Makerspaces and Digital Writing<\/p>\n

Introduction:<\/strong>
\nOur recent Blog Carnival on Makerspaces and Digital Writing\u00a0explored how a culture of making, crafting, innovating, and creating may be brought to composition classrooms, particularly in higher education. \u00a0Contributors have written about how and where making practices get encouraged, what kinds of making practices have helped composition students see valuable connections between innovation and composition, and what the implications are of bringing makerculture \u2013 often associated with neoliberal capital and start-up culture \u2013 to the university.<\/p>\n

You can read our complete Blog Carnival CFP <\/a>here, and check out our contributors’ posts<\/a>. But as our Carnival wraps up, we wanted to extend this conversation to get more scholars and teachers involved. Join our Twitter Chat to share your thoughts! Over the course of the chat, we\u2019ll plan to discuss the following questions:<\/p>\n

\n
1. What\u2019s your experience with making and makerspaces?<\/span><\/li>\n
2. How do you see making and writing intersecting?<\/span><\/li>\n
3. What do you think students gain from using makerspaces or making strategies?<\/span><\/li>\n
4. What\u2019s one digital making strategy\/assignment you use that has been successful? <\/span><\/li>\n
5. What challenges do you face when incorporating making into your classroom?<\/span><\/li>\n
6. What digital tools do you use to facilitate making and makerspaces?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   Hope to see you on Thursday\u00a0on Twitter!<\/p>\n
