Teachers & Writers Collaborative

The Teachers & Writers Collaborative, a non-profit organization in New York City, needed to distribute information about its products and services to as large and varied an audience as possible. The World Wide Web allows T&W to present itself to an extremely large audience at their convenience. It gives viewers the ability to join T&W, review the book catalogue, participate in writing activities, find out about T&W’s residency programs, and much more. In all, the project is being developed over two years, in conjunction with the Institute for Learning Technology at Columbia University, and the final Web site will encourage learning and have a live online teaching program through designated schools with high-speed internet connections.

Teachers & Writers latest addition to the site is WriteNet www.writenet.org includes online student–teacher evaluations and discussions, a monthly poetry chat with audio samples, and a list-serve registration and archive.
