Writing Center Stuff

http://php.scripts.psu.edu/dept/ulc/Dangling_Modifier/index.php

This is a great international newsletter written by and for peer tutors in writing and produced by the National Conference on Peer Tutoring in Writing. The contributors come from a wide variety of background, from Western Kentucky University to Villanova. But they all do what we do and offer some great insights and ideas. I especially liked “Investing Tutors in the Future of Writing Center Theory and Practice.”

This is a writing center journal by Johnson County Community College titled “IN THE POCKETS OF YESTERDAY’S PANTS: Theory, practice, theory.” It has some great pieces including “Patchwriters” which deals with recognizing and deterring plagiarism, as well as “On the Road to Being Less Critical” and “The Role of the Peer Writing Tutor.”

These are two short YouTube clips titled If Writing Center Myths Were True and Get Thee to the Writing Center! They are not so much educational as just plain funny.
