Student Success Week 2015 | Exploring the Intersection of Writing with Technology
Technology is neither necessary nor sufficient for good writing, as demonstrated by Homerian epics (tech not necessary) and bad blogs (tech not sufficient). Yet in the 21st century, digital technology is integral to the writing process. How can these tools be applied to improve writing skills?
Based on wide-ranging research on technology in education, this talk highlights the critical importance of strong pedagogy and provides tips for better technology use in the classroom.
