This is a project I participate in through a partnership with National Writing Project's Educator Innnovator cohort, as well as with the technological work and workshops provided by NEXMAP consultants and the original ideas of Dr. Jie Qi, a recent graduate of MIT and an MIT Media Lab innovator. I have had the privilege of working with some other amazing innovators over the years who also participate and create in this work: David Cole, Paul Oh, Jeannine Huffman, Kate Hodges, my very good friend Anna Marie Warren, and hopefully soon, Natalie Freed. Many of their resources are below!
