I’m teaching Digital Creative Writing (http://leonardoflores.net/3238) this semester, a repurposed Creative Writing class focused on how digital media transforms creativity. In our class we’ve already created Pinfics (Pinterest fictions & poetry – check out our class Board), Haiku, Twitter fictions and poetry, and more. My class of 30 students are a mix of excited, adventurous young writers who signed up in response to my advertising campaign, and nervous sophomores who needed an English class and are finding themselves falling down a digital rabbit hole. I plan to combine required and voluntary participation to allow students who really get excited by the project to go far.
