Authorship 2.0

When I use the term “authorship,” I am referring to the practice of writing or otherwise creating an original text in any medium. For example, one might author a story, an essay, a book, a message, a diagram, a video, a multimedia presentation, a blog, a podcast, etc.

I believe that authorship is an important vehicle for learning. Teachers often ask students to write, but such activities do not always engage students in true authorship.

This concept map that I authored with MindMeister elaborates on what I mean…
