How to apply digital writing skills effectively in the classroom, from
the prestigious National Writing Project
As many teachers know, students may be adept at text messaging and
communicating online but do not know how to craft a basic essay. In the
classroom, students are increasingly required to create web-based or
multi-media productions that also include writing. Since writing in and
for the online realm often defies standard writing conventions, this
book defines digital writing and examines how best to integrate new
technologies into writing instruction.
- Shows how to integrate new technologies into classroom lessons
- Addresses the proliferation of writing in the digital age
- Offers a guide for improving students' online writing skills
The book is an important manual for understanding this new frontier of
writing for teachers, school leaders, university faculty, and teacher
educators.
