For teachers working with memoir and teachers interested in archival research, this might be of interest: a multimedia composing project that works with the journals and correspondence of a southern writer who spent much of his life recollecting, in ever finer detail, his childhood during the Depression in East Texas. I teach creative nonfiction and I'm always trying to push myself to think about the possibilities new media composing affords that my students could explore.

What is plagiarism? A case study of a news story that keeps growing as the headlines change--racism, whites only screening, outrage--even though each story is simply a rewriting of a summary of a letter to the editor. The problem, ultimately, isn't the technology; it's the generation of readers and writers who prefer outrage to curiosity.

A visual exploration of how the place of physical education at the university has changed over the past two hundred years. What does taking the bird's eye view allow us to see? Is anything to be gained by treating a football stadium as the subject of poetry? Let me know what you think. (Tip of the hat to Wallace Stevens for the form.)

martphone and the webcam have made it possible for all manner of sexual activity to be recorded and distributed for all the world to see free of charge. This is one way to explain why none of the people who read Ravi’s original tweet, none of the young women crowded around Wei’s computer to see what Clementi and his guest were up to, and none of the people who received Ravi’s invitation to view Clementi’s next liaison bestirred themselves to stay his hand. As Cicco testified, they “really didn’t think that it was that big of a deal.”

The trial in the cyberspying case at Rutgers is now underway. There is so much here for students and teachers at all levels to consider about ethics, privacy, and the digital life sentence for the accused in the Age of the Google Search. I don't think even our most technologically adept students quite realize that what they text and tweet is there forever.

If you're interested in working on whether or not images have power in the contemporary moment, following the (non) event of the reception of the poster depicting Obama as a Zombie is instructive. Images can still offend, but can they make anything happen?
