I’m a grad student in English and teach argumentative writing, and integrating my interest in the digital humanities with my teaching of argumentative writing has been somewhat of a struggle (as writing instructors, all graduate students at my institution, receive very little pedagogical training regarding technology). Thinking about the “disruption” of the computer, and its potential to undermine the authority of the institution, has made me re-think my own position as a graduate student instructor, my relationship to authority, and the use of technology in my writing classes. (I have been reluctantly using Blackboard, but will be switching over to an open source blog or wiki format next semester.)

Thanks for posting!
