William Kist
William Kist is an associate professor at Kent State University, where he teaches literacy methods courses for pre-service teachers in the area of English Education in the Adolescence to Young Adult Education Program. He also teaches graduate students in the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) program and in curriculum and instruction. He has been a middle school and high school language arts teacher, a language arts and social studies curriculum coordinator, and a consultant and trainer for school districts across the United States, both independently and as a consultant for the National Council of Teachers of English. Dr. Kist has been active on the state and national levels as a literacy educator, founding and facilitating the Ohio Language Arts Supervisors’ Network and currently serving as director for the Commission on Media for the National Council of Teachers of English. Focusing on new literacies—broadening our conceptions of “literacy” to include alternative media such as video, blogging, and text messaging—Dr. Kist’s new book,The Socially Networked Classroom, explores classroom uses of social networking in classrooms. He has presented nationally and internationally, with over 40 articles and book chapters to his credit; his profiles of teachers were the essence of his book New Literacies in Action (2005), which was chosen as a National Council of Teachers of English Select Book.
