How many adults would feel comfortable being that exposed? I wonder about students and whether that would be helpful or harmful? Probably depends on the person so if it's a choice and personalized, perhaps...Brian Kuhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565982072371979984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381187568583718836.post-49445351209165149552011-03-30T11:22:32.555-07:002011-03-30T11:22:32.555-07:00I think this is such an important topic to bring u...I think this is such an important topic to bring up. When I was in school I hated editing because it felt like to make corrections means I got it wrong or failed the first time around. I did do a lot of editing as I went along; however, re-creating and re-creating and re-creating are the necessary steps in, as you say, creating a masterpiece. This is why shifting the focus from product to process has become an important shift in education today. I wonder if we can find more collections like the Mahler and create a bank of materpieces that have a process component!? There is a function in word that keeps the edited parts but crosses them out in red - I think this would be a beneficial tool to introduce to students.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04249388957909190213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381187568583718836.post-17710682956615876092011-03-30T10:24:07.020-07:002011-03-30T10:24:07.020-07:00It's interesting, because for many people this...It's interesting, because for many people this is a very serious flaw with using digital technology for writing; you very rarely get to see the mistakes that went into it.<br /><br />I think it would be interesting if we could find some writing which was done using a modern writing tool with revision history (like Google docs) and watch the writing unfold over time. If Google Docs had a play by play option, much like Google Wave has, that would make seeing the writing process itself unfold much easier to do.<br /><br />You are completely right in my opinion, it is important to see the process, rather than just the finished masterpiece. So often the process is the masterpiece in my mind. Great artists produce great work because they generally use innovative or methodical processes to produce their work.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098221991466148258noreply@blogger.com
