TL;DR: This article explored the writing, reviewing, and social practices in an online fanfiction community, focusing on how the networked structure of such sites facilitates English language learning and promotes writing by providing ELLs with access to a broad audience of readers and multiple community writing resources.
Abstract: Online fanfiction communities provide adolescent English-language learners (ELLs) with a forum for engaging in an array of sophisticated literacy practices. This article draws on constructs from literacy studies and second-language acquisition as conceptual bases for exploring the writing, reviewing, and social practices in an online fanfiction community. Analyses focus on how the networked structure of such sites facilitates English-language learning and promotes writing by providing ELLs with access to a broad audience of readers and multiple community writing resources. By highlighting the social and interactive nature of writing in this space, connections among language, literacy, and identity are emphasized. In conclusion, the author explores some of the possibilities that networked computer environments offer for developing authentic, interactive writing activities in the classroom.

TL;DR: It is argued that the interactive textual environment of asynchronous online conferences is particularly facilitative of both social and cognitive construction ofmeaning because the nature of online interactive writing itself bootstraps the construction of meaning.
Abstract: Contemporary educators who view learning as interactive, discursive, and situated have argued that well-designed online conferencing environments may be particularly suited to provide the socio-cognitive support for learning seen as fundamental to constructivist pedagogies. In order to assess the relationships between online course design, participants' interactions, and learning, a first step is to examine closely and describe the nature of online class participants' interactions within synchronous and asynchronous conferences. In this article, I address the role of interactive writing as an integral element in the conceptual development that takes place in such online courses. I argue that the interactive textual environment of asynchronous online conferences is particularly facilitative of both social and cognitive construction of meaning because the nature of online interactive writing itself bootstraps the construction of meaning.

Later the teacher is dismayed when many stdents fail a related test. Why aren't students getting it? And, Just as important, why didn't the teacher rekognize the problem?
In Checking for understanding, Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey show how to increase students' understanding with the help of creative formative assesment. When used regulary, these types of assesment enable every teacher to determine what students know, what they need to know, and what type of instructional interventions are effective. Fisher and Frey explore a variety of enganging activities that can build understanding, including,interactive writing,portofolios, multimedia presentations,audiences respon system, interactive hand signal, public perfomances, and much more.
