Abstract
(Excerpt)
The start of a new school year has always excited me. As a student, it meant new supplies, new clothes, new opportunities. As a professor, I still like the newness each semester beginning brings. This past academic year brought a lot of newness with online teaching. It forced me to confront my fears and hesitations about using technology to achieve pedagogical goals and to embrace some of the exciting ways technology can be used to successfully achieve these goals. One tool I adopted from the tech world this past year—that both supported my goal of incorporating social justice issues into the Legal Writing classroom and expanded my students' understanding about resources and client needs—was crowdsourcing.
