For those teaching technical communication from a social justice perspective, Patricia Roberts-Miller's book, "Demagoguery and Democracy" text might be useful for conversations about the importance of rhetoric in technical communications. #teachingtechcomm #eng452

@zach_freed I find it alarming how few people claim to acquire visual communication skills in school because of how much focus was placed on teaching and modeling visual communication in my teacher training program. After all, every unit was expected to have some visual component. #ENG452

An interventionary rhetorical approach can be useful in any communication, so why stop in a tech comm class room? This approach asks students to "interrogate their own subject positions and recognize whom within their own communities might be most at risk"(@juliecbates). #ENG452

@charles_woods1 @DrMattyNC I like how @DrMattyNC facilitates this disruption through what he teaches and the discussions he asks his students to engage in, but also through how he disrupts assumptions about how college courses should work (talking about each topic for a week before moving on).

"Manipulating the YouTube Algorithm"- Discusses how videos are mass produced, how they get noticed on social media, and what people get out of us consuming their "fake" content. #MakingPopoularContent #SourceCredibility #EthicalImplicationsOnSocialMedia #WeaponizedSocialMedia

Recently stumbled across 3 videos from @smartereveryday (see below) that could be useful for teaching about ethical implications in digital composition (especially social media) and digital research practices in tech comm. #ENG452 #TeachingTechComm

"The Future of War and How it Affects You"- Discusses multi-domain operations, how war currently works, and how things posted digitally can be information weapons. #WeaponizedSocialMedia #EthicalImplicationsOnSocialMedia

Question inspired by @GodwinAgboka's chapter in Key Theoretical Frameworks: How do we make the rhetorical effects of technical communication documents more visible to students? #ENG452 #teachingtechcomm

"We contend that it is a mistake to assume that the majority of students in communications classrooms are "native to learning, thinking, and producing with digital media" (Dear and Potts, 23). @daersay & @LizaPotts #ENG452

Technology isn't a tool for writing, "Bolter argued that all writing is technology, and each new technology creates a new physical and conceptual space for writers to work in.... A word-processing program is itself a text" (Kalmbach 264). @jimkalmbach #ENG452
