The District of Columbia Area Writing Project (DCAWP) would like to build upon the idea of collaboration that can benefit the educational experiences of the DCAWP teacher consultants through the NetPals Project, a weblogging collaborative portal for local teachers to reach out within our school system and with teachers and educators outside of our school system.

Pictorial View of the "Write" Moments of DCAWP Teacher Consultants
Are writing retreats valuable?
What are some of the benefits of teachers participating in a writing retreat away from their normal environment?
Of course, writing retreats are valuable. When you are able to get away with people who are of like mind with a similar purpose, you are able to leave your daily responsibilities on the "cooling board" for a while. After cleaning/clearing the cobwebs or junk from your psychie, you will then sink into writer's heaven and create that which you will later reflect on and say,"Did I write that?"
