I am curious to see how or if the blending of online and F2F environments will have any impact on at all in the next few years. It's kind of like the typewriter being invented or something. <br /><br />Just thinkin'<br />Lee AnneLee Anne Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03187869027295073212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18042907.post-9139786757997270322013-12-17T16:57:33.118-06:002013-12-17T16:57:33.118-06:00These kinds of questions are certainly on my radar...These kinds of questions are certainly on my radar. I believe that, as you mentioned Lee Anne, right now there still is a time and place for both. In other words, I can see teaching the five paragraph classic format and also teach how to write effectively online. They are still two very separate approaches with different purposes and audiences. If we are teaching Academic critical analysis, much of that is written in a traditional essay format (although not in five paragraphs). I note here that in my experience much of it is also written in the first person. Writing online, like writing for an essay test, or writing for a newspaper (at least for the few left), or writing an application letter, has different rules. I think these differences will be around for quite a while still. <br />JCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687808882710448043noreply@blogger.com
