I certainly gives students a lot more choice in the way that they do their own writing. I wonder if anyone has considered using technology to present student work. Last year we allowed students to blog and create hyperfiction. There will be some interesting things to discuss in regards to this, but it would be good to at least consider it. What do you think?
