User:Thomas W. Reynolds

Thomas W. Reynolds, Jr. is an instructor of English at Northwestern State University of Louisiana in Natchitoches, LA. Currently working on his dissertation for a Ph.D. in English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Mr. Reynolds is interested in the ways in which computer technologies (like wiki technology) might impact writing and the teaching of writing.

Hi Thomas, welcome to Citizendium. I heard you might be interested in running an Eduzendium project in a class, so I thought I'd mention that it was very valuable for my students to have the experience of trying to write for public consumption. After all, when they write a paper or answer an exam question, they are generally confident that no one but the professor or grader will see it. Having to use their real identity and write in public really scares them (it perhaps ought to), but I think it also causes them to push up the quality of their contributions. Anyway, welcome to CZ!Pat Palmer 15:55, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
