Improving Student Writing in Online and Multimedia Environments
Samenvatting
How to apply digital writing skills effectively in the classroom, from the prestigious National Writing Project

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.
