From San Antonio …
Once again, the Western Massachusetts Writing Project was well represented at the Annual Meeting of the National Writing Project. Three days of workshops, seminars and making connections with other members of the Writing Project will help to inform our site.
If you are interested, WMWP Technology Liaison Kevin Hodgson has created podcasts of a few of the speeches given in the general assembly that hosted more than 1,000 members of the National Writing Project.
Give a listen:
