Watching the two videos http://edtap.psu.edu/video/zines/ and http://edtap.psu.edu/video/minilesson/, which are about techniques in teaching the writing skill, provided me with a diversity of strategies in teaching writing skill for English Language Learner (ELLs) and how it is important for a student to be aware of the digital citizenship. The first video http://edtap.psu.edu/video/zines/ is very interesting to me because it has the idea of teaching writing through many steps, such as searching for data, evaluating the sources, and choosing a creative theme for the writing assignment or the story. So, students are going to enjoy the task and feel the responsibility in providing a valuable information to their classmate. I also like when the teachers made a small discussion with students and took some feedback from them and welcomed to hear their opinion. It is a very valuable video to me as a future teacher.
