An earlier version of this post was written for a ENG 725 on "Teaching Writing Online" I’m teaching a graduate seminar in rhetoric and composition this semester and next week is the first week, the week to get our collective feet wet, and while we’re splashing in that virtual brook, be like Phaedrus and Socrates on that riverbank and … Continue reading ENG 704: Getting started with Teaching Writing Online

Taking care of business in my campus office today,
Writing in the Mac Media Lab
We have one Mac Lab for classroom use, and luckily, it is in my building although Media, Film, and Journalism gets priority. I should request it more often.

Cheryl Ball famously did … Continue reading To dossier or to portfolio?
