Not necessarily!  For every kind of media, there is a style of writing and without question, writing continues to change in the twenty-first century.  Teachers, administrators, parents, and other stakeholders value the teaching of<br \/>\nwriting. They see that our notion of what it means to be literate is evolving, yet continue to wonder how best to teach writing in a digital age.<\/p>\n<p>To help sort that out, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne&#8217;s (IPFW&#8217;s) Writing Program and the Chapman Distinguished Professor of English are sponsoring a presentation by Troy Hicks, an assistant professor of English at Central Michigan University (CMU), Wednesday, Sept. 21, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Kettler Hall, Room G-46.  Hicks will present &#8220;Teaching the iGeneration:  Because Digital Matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Based on the work with the National Writing Project, participants will discuss practices that hold promise as educators develop  understandings of what it means to write digitally, create spaces for digital writing in their schools, and extend assessment practices that account for the complexities of writing in a digital world.<\/p>\n<p>Hicks&#8217; research focuses on the teaching of writing, literacy and technology, teacher education, and professional development.  He is<br \/>\ndirector of CMU&#8217;s Chippewa River Writing Project, author of The Digital Writing Workshop, and co-author of Because Digital Writing<br \/>\nMatters.<\/p>\n<p>The lecture is free and open to the public.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/100203.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"IPFW float in the Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='b59e113758f54c0d5fc96796d4126b0c' data-image-id=\"3246\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/100203.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_100203.jpg\" data-title=\"IPFW float\" data-description=\"IPFW float in the Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"IPFW float\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"IPFW float\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"3246\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_100203.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/assorted-photos\/dailydish.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Daily Dish screen capture from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
