Students submit essays that are longer but not better written than those in years past

This doesn't appear to be the case, re: longer papers. Whycome so many papers fall short of minimum page counts?

The perils are clearer. "Students will tinker endlessly with the text and forget that their paper doesn't have a thesis," says Kathleen Skubikowski, an assistant professor of English who directs the writing program at Middlebury College. "I receive immaculately word-processed documents that are just terrible," says David Galef, an associate professor of English at the University of Mississippi.

Interesting! Sometimes a roadblock to me is the time it takes to learn the technology associated with new applications and, like the thesis for students, I'm occaionally in danger of forgetting to plan my class lessons.

The first thing she found is that young people today write far more than any generation before them. That's because so much socializing takes place online, and it almost always involves text.

So... right... texts and Texts are so mixed up in our lives now in a way that is more social than writing has ever been before. Like I wrote texts, facebook statues, emails so much more often than we wrote postcards and letters and passed notes before. -

I think you just wrote it. Copy and paste

There's actually something called the "post-literate age" - can't remember who coined the phrase.

FutureMe.org: letters to the future - 2 views

When I learned about Future Me my first thought was that it would be great to have students use Future Me at the beginning of a school year. Students could write about what they hope to learn that year, what they do or don't like about school, and goals that they have for themselves. Then at the end of the school year students can read their letters and see how they've changed over the year.--Richard Byrne
