For my first post on the Sweetland Digital Rhetoric Collaborative blog, I figured that I should make a multimodal composition.

Thanks to Tracy Mercier (@vr2ltch) for capturing my unfolding thought process as I responded to The Majestic Plastic Bag — and invited others to do the same — during an #engchat conversation about digital mentor texts on April 23rd. I think I may have coined a new phrase, at least in the pedagogical sense, mashing [...]
Unlike many conference experiences where I am “on” for most of the time, presenting or meeting, I was able to take a slightly slower pace at AERA 2012 this weekend in Vancouver. Although the long travel days and time zone differences were a little tough to contend with, the few focused hours that I spent [...]
This will be a busy weekend of writing as I prep for our series on mentor texts in the digital writing workshop. I would like to say that I can write most of these posts as the week progresses, but my past history as a blogger (being somewhat irregular in my posting patterns) as well [...]
At the WIDE-EMU Un-Conference, Andrea Zellner introduced us to Hackasuarus and the idea that we can remix websites as a form of digital writing and expression.

Well, the week is here. So, now that it is Monday of my biggest and busiest professional week of the year, I need to hit full stride. NCTE and NWP 2010. Hooray! Although I tell myself each year that I’ll cut back, do a little bit less, and just enjoyed my time at the convention, [...]
Notes from 2010 Michigan Virtual University Online Learning Symposium November 9, 2010 at Michigan State University Opening Keynote: Steve Midgley, Deputy Director of Education Technology, US DOE Context National Technology Plan (released just today), Four Components: Mobility, Social Interactions, Digital Content, Print to Online This does not mean that we will have a “teacherless” curriculum, [...]
This is the first blog post but I am composing not through the tips of my fingers (mostly), but through my own voice. I’ve long been interested in dictation software, and I have had some experience using Dragon NaturallySpeaking in the past, I was never really a fan. By the time it would take to [...]
