The Skype session went so well today! We shared many different ideas that were beneficial to both schools!
I
feel that today's Skype session with Edison High School is a perfect example of
how the Berkeley Writing Center can reach out to become a part of the broad
network of writing centers across the country and to learn how it can expand
its projects. As was mentioned in the session, the Berkeley Writing Center has
been around longer than most other centers and yet--as more high school centers
begin to pop up--we have so many potential projects that we could pursue that
we haven't yet. Some examples of this (from the session and Edison's blog) are
the presentation classes, the "Rent A Tutor" program, and a broader
social media presence and various events (like the "Lunch Launch") to
further increase popularity. By connecting to other centers, both through Skype
and through the conference, the writing center could possible expand its focus
so that it is not only an excellent resource for students to come to for help,
but also a stronger on-campus entity to assist students with writing and
communication.
