Response to History Tech Post

The post “Is digital writing different? My next book” on the “history tech” blog is an interesting one.  The author posts the book Because Digital Writing Matters: Improving Student Writing in Online and Multimedia Environments. He explains that the book talks about how teachers are utilizing digital tools to help students write and weather digital writing is different than “regular writing”.  The concept is interesting.

I know poor writing is a growing concern in schools and it would be interesting to see what the book has to say.  Due to MD400, I understand that teachers are integrating new technology that may be (as the post says) “redefining the way people write”.
