I have half a share for everyone today. Maybe it's a 3/4 share. I had intended to put up a link to my full Twitter assignment sequence that I used in my English 102 class as an experiment in making the research process more social and more about sharing. You'll have to stay tuned for that.
In the mean time, I have shared, via a public posting of an Evernote note, a brief bibliography of digital literacy sources that I've found interesting. I tried to include some sources outside of composition (our education colleagues have some great studies). Then, to make it super digital crazy, I Tweeted the link. So, if you've never really used Twitter, now is your chance. Go to my account @emilysimnitt. The link should be my most recent Tweet. (It's also here if you are a Twitter-phobe).
I will post my Twitter assignment later (and spare you the technical difficulties that prevented it from being posted earlier). In the mean time, you can find the digital assignments a group of us at BSU presented on last fall at our Teaching Composition with Digital Technology blog (which I've tried to occasionally update with my digital adventures).
And one more link to a very cool resource: The Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives is a collection of people being recorded talking about their literacy experiences. I'll talk about an assignment sequence Lynn Reid (IUP PhD student) uses in Basic Writing related to the archive. It's a good starting place to talking about and using digital media in writing; it's digital; it's about literacy.
