This page is for displaying/discussing my interest in new digital technologies (such as the internet and World Wide Web), looking at how they are already impacting how we teach composition, do research, and interact with others inside and outside the University community. Below are links to four articles I have generated on the subject. Soon, these will also be submitted into Scholar's Bank.

Reprinted from the 2005-06 edition of Componere.

This is my one-page list of the eight terms you need to know in order to teach visual media analysis in the
composition--or any--classroom.
