Week of "Presents"

We have been working on our presentations for Writing & Computers. The presentations are based on the research essays we did about a month ago. My presentation is going to be on user-generated content. When I have the PowerPoint finished, I'm going to try to figure out a way to convert the file to embed on my blog.

Writing & Computers: "The Dickens Web"

Hey all. In Writing & Computers we finished that wiki video this past Monday. We then started talking about these two assignments that we have to complete by this Friday and next Monday. One of them is an essay that asks us to define certain topics (phrases) in the writing and computers world, such as digital citizenship, digital writing, and participatory culture. The other is an assignment where we have to research, view, and critique a choice Web site. This week we also looked up different Web pages that include social bookmarking and blogging. One I discovered is called The Dickens Web (http://www.eastgate.com/catalog/Dickens.html). That is all for this week!
