Digital+Writings

-new literacy: incorporating technology that students are already using. -Podcasts- only really need one computer
 * restricting wikis/podcasts: Good or bad?
 * Will students want to produce work that they know only their classmates will see?
 * Teachers putting on restrictions and them taking them away- Students write "for the grade" in class and for themselves outside of class.

-Digital media-a good alternative to introduction to composition, but not a substitution.

-Why do students begin to enjoy reading/writing? What motivates them? Does digital writing help students accomplish these?
 * personal reasons/childhood
 * encouragement from teachers
 * journals
 * dealing with teen angst?
