Hicks, T. (2013). Cr@fting Digital Writing: Composing
Texts Across Media and Genres.
Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.
While this rich, in-depth textbook
presents multimodal means through which to create digital writing, it also
provides endless resources, websites, examples, and ideas to promote the art in
21st century classrooms. Hicks
connects with and engages students in a medium of great interest and which they
are already actively engaged with and excel in outside the classroom. Hicks’ book is essential reading for
initiating teaching of digital writing.
His ideas, suggestions, and tips are proven strategies for successful
outcomes in digital writing.
