opening #1

OPENING #1 new media needs to be opened to writing

OPENING 1 “writing about new media needs to be informed by what writing teachers know, precisely because writing teachers focus speciﬁcally on texts and how situated people (learn how to) use them to make things happen” (5)

opening #2

OPENING #2 we need to focus on the materiality of the texts we exchange

OPENING 2 “any material we use for communication is not a blank carrier for our meanings, is not a blank that contributes nothing to how readers understand” (10)

opening #3

OPENING # 3 new media texts do not have to be digital

OPENING #3 “New media texts can be made of anything... what is important is that whoever produces the text and whoever consumes it understand...that the various materialities of a text contribute to how it...is read and understood” (15)

opening #4

OPENING #4 the production of new media texts is equally important

OPENING #4 “if we do want to understand compositions as allowing us to see our positions, then it would be useful to think about-and teach-composition of page and screen as a material craft” (21-22)

opening #5

OPENING #5 we need strategies for generous reading

OPENING #5 “we need to acknowledge that texts we receive from others can look and function differently from those to which we’ve become accustomed, and this is where generosity too must enter” (23)

for consideration • How do Wysocki’s assignments ﬁt into the lives of people with disabilities? • “little or nothing...” that discusses the rhetorical implications of creating web pages, etc. (6) • Where do socioeconomics ﬁt into her discussions of new media?
