How New Digital Media and the Internet are Fueling an Innovative Surge in Communication, Creativity and Collaboration. from DML Research Hub on Vimeo.

Shout out to NWP's Elyse Eidman-Aadahl! What a wonderful video reiterating the importance of understanding that it's not about the technology, it's about using the tools to help students become more precise writers who are aware of audience and purpose. She discusses the many changes that have ocurred since her childhood. Consider the many changes yet to come. We are preparing our students for the unknown. As she states, "The moment to capture is not now. The moment to capture is the future."
