ReviewsWriting Instruction for Generation 2.0 , unlike many books about technology and English education, shows how new technologies and new writing practices impact our students in specific ways, both in and outside of the classroom. Gloria Jacobs, in her accessible and fascinating treatment of such an essential topic, explains how writing is changing through new technologies that are embedded in the lives of our students and how we, as teachers who want to reach our students in their worlds, can teach from their vantage point. She weaves traditional writing issues into new literacies such as writing the research paper and determining the validity of online material to show that it is possible to integrate new technologies and learn from our students themselves how to be better teachers now. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand how the changing world of technology can be used to help our students and ourselves be better teachers and writers., Unlike books that define, describe, and dissect students in the 2.0 generation, Writing Instruction for Generation 2.0 presents possibilities. Real concerns of teachers are addressed in this smart, pithy, and accessible book. A unique text, this book melds old school concerns related to word choice, punctuation, sentence structure, and writing research papers with the new literacy practices that students bring to classrooms. It is perfect for teachers who wonder what to make of topics such as student multitasking and plagiarism on the internet. Gloria Jacobs clearly takes on the proverbial elephant in the room: How can the technological literacy practices of students inform our teaching? I highly recommend this book for any educator interested in helping today "s students become powerful writers., Writing Instruction for Generation 2.0, unlike many books about technology and English education, shows how new technologies and new writing practices impact our students in specific ways, both in and outside of the classroom.

SynopsisWriting Instruction for Generation 2.0 addresses many of the concerns teachers have about the impact of the digital world on student writing and suggests ways for teachers to approach these issues within a 21st century literacies framework. This book is not about teaching the writing process, running a writing workshop, or using specific digital tools to support writing instruction. Forward-thinking teachers who wish to understand the 21st century literacies, understand what youth are doing in respect to those literacies, and discover how they can apply this knowledge to classroom instruction will find answers to their questions. The chapters include specific suggestions, but those suggestions are meant as a jumping-off point for imaginative and innovative teachers to adapt to meet the specific needs of students in their classrooms., Forward-thinking teachers who wish to understand the 21st century literacies, understand what youth are doing in respect to those literacies, and discover how they can apply this knowledge to classroom instruction will find answers to their questions.
