Zombie Can't Dance: Using Blogs to Improve First-Year Research and Writing Skills
Title of Panel or Colloquium
Panel: Blog All About It
Abstract
Zombies have no hand-eye coordination, no opinions about The Voice. And yet, as a pop culture thread in a digital writing space, they can have great value. The presenter will share her idea for a zombie-themed blog for first-year writers that increases engagement, helps students develop peer-review and collaborative-learning skills, improves research, strengthens rhetorical analysis, and inspires life-long learning.
