 * 5:00 pm || Jeanine, Eliza, Catherine L., & Michael || __Shmoop Essay Lab__

Although most of us associate Shmoop.com with CliffNotes-type summaries that help students skip the reading, Shmoop does offer one innovative Web 2.0 tool: an interactive writing lab that will help students create a 5-paragraph essay. We will be giving this tool a critical look, to determine whether some of the pre-writing tools that are offered are worth learning from or even incorporating into an assignment; conversely, we'll be considering the limitations of the tools and the ways that it might disable student engagement in the writing process. || //Please sign up to be a guest in at least four of your colleagues' webinars!//

Multi-media can be a wonderful way to engage students, appeal to a wider range of learners, and differentiate lessons, but we as teachers understand the potential pitfalls of passive learning. With so much information on the web, it's time we educators learned how to take advantage of it.
