Hypertext Writing – A Model for Your Teaching
April 10, 2008
Kevin Hodgson, the technology liaison for the Western Mass Writing Project, has shared a hypertext poem that he has created with the TL network. Entitled “Capturing Myself in Hyperlink,” he uses both text and audio to convey the message of his poem.
As you read/listen to it, you might begin thinking about the opportunities that it afford your students to collaborate and write with newer technologies. What opportunities does a project like this afford students? In what ways would they be able to collaborate, respond, revise, and share their work?

OMG–apart from the interactive component–the map that has each of the poems on its–helix?–and the “echo” poem where you play two tracks, the poems echo with similar thoughts that I find in my students writing. There are multiple levels of thought and feeling and expertise and creativity here that, with the right student, this type of production would produce so much learning about writing and about self. This is an amazing piece of work.

Thank you, Deb.
I worked hard to create multiple levels of “reading” but I wish I had some process for feedback or interaction for the viewer. I not thought about it until I saw the post (by Troy)
Kevin
PS — Today, I wrote about the process I went through to write and create the poem
