Welcome to the Bigger Classroom

The purpose of this blog, The Bigger Classroom, is to create a larger space for our College Writing classroom. This is online space will allow us to:

• Stay in touch with each other between classes
• Express ourselves so we can be more fully present in the classroom. (When people in a learning community--such as a class--know about each other, they trust each other more. When they trust each other more, they talk more, ask questions more. When all that happens, students usually learn more and feel better about the class.)
• Provide doorways to the information resources of the web. The internet can be a like a huge, wonderful library/bookstore/meeting place. The trick is to find your way to the parts that are reliable, interesting, comfortable and relevant to you.
