Since I think a lot of you are probably having trouble

Coming up with a topic, I wanted to ask you some questions that might help.

What is a writing-related problem? What kinds of problems do we have with digital literacy? Are computers creating any issues with writing?

For example - think about what it's really like to write in college. Does the 5 paragraph essay really work here when you're asked to create a composition on a blog? What kinds of skills do you REALLY need in order to be able to write in college? Both writing and computer skills?

My point with this post is that things are different now, and what we did before doesn't really work all that well. So I'm challenging you, through your research and your writing, to help me find out what really DOES work for you in college. Through your choice of topics, let's explore what writing is like in college in the digital age.
