“Digital Is: Interdisciplinary Writing Resources” by ProfHacker
The Chronicle of Higher Education – March 30, 2011
One of the most exciting initiatives of the National Writing Project (NWP) is called Digital Is: “a collection of resources, reflections, and stories about what it means to teach writing in our digital, interconnected world.”
Digital Is simultaneously facilitates and archives the work of educators who are expanding our notion of composition in the public schools. The website is also a rich resource for teaching digital rhetoric and composition at the college and university level. With sections on Art/Craft, Teach/Learn, Provocations, and Community, the site functions as an on-going endless-summer institute for the teaching of writing in the digital age. Users (teachers or students) can find curated collections, as well as individual resources, on topics ranging from crafting new texts to using digital tools for change to curating our online identities.
