Technology and the Internet have changed how we write, edit, and teach. But how have things changed for these professions?
Ah, 1993! I was attending the University of Missouri-Columbia and found myself researching in both the university library and the computer lab. Well, to be honest, I was researching mostly in the library. At that time, [...]]]></description>

When writers, teachers, and students experiment with writing, new doorways to creativity and learning are opened.
One of the most influential teachers I had in grade school was also the most subtle. My high school English teacher, Mrs. Christiansen, was never blunt or demanding. Rather, she preferred to let the class assignments do most of the [...]]]></description>
