I read Johnny Bunko, too, and thought about how I could fit that stuff into the course.  But at the last minute, I went with another plan focused for now on the latest greatest literacy crisis and also on Googlization (while taking up some of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.googlizationofeverything.com\/\">Vaidhyanathan&#8217;s blogbook-in-progress<\/a>).  So we&#8217;ll read about and write around some of the stuff that happens when we &#8216;do a Google,&#8217; size up some of the apps, and forage around for research projects concerned with Google&#8217;s construction of the web or the world, grand databases and privacy, Knol, directed and serendipitous search, and so on.  So far, the course opens with a digital memoir of sorts (not quite a mystory, but maybe not too far off), some summary and critique work, a researched argument, and a translation  (switching the argument into a 2.5 minute audio short or a Pecha Kucha slide-improv, I haven&#8217;t decided yet). <a href=\"http:\/\/writing.syr.edu\/~dmueller\/teaching\/wrt195\/index.html\">Here&#8217;s<\/a> the current plan, subject to minor revisions until I hear back from a coordinator later this week about whether it will fly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also slotted for ten hours per week in the Writing Center, or, I should say, doing Writing Center work online, as we continue stabilizing some of the consulting options  piloted this summer.
