An Outlet for Online Class Journaling: The National Gallery of Writing

December, 01 2009

The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) has developed a website to showcase works created by (extra)ordinary Americans. There are "national" galleries, but anyone can become a "Local Partner" and set up a gallery for their group—families, friends, classes, schools, clubs, etc. The "curator" for each gallery sets up the parameters for the group and ensures that works meet standards for appropriateness of content so that the galleries are safe places for all visitors. All types of writing "from letters to lists, memoirs to memos" can be found on the site but don't limit yourself to just uploading text documents. Supported formats also include photographs, videos, and more.
