"This book is wonderful because of its utility: many different courses from across the curriculum can use it to help students better understand how to adjust to the ever-changing writing contexts of the digital age, and it can serve as a trusty resource students can rely on as they progress through their studies."Moe Folk, Professor of Digital Rhetoric, Kutztown University of Pennsylvania"This thoughtful and well-paced book offers clear, engaging examples throughout to draw students in and help them better understand the role of digital and non-digital technologies alike in writing. Addressing contemporary topics like social media, copyright, website writing, and more, Lutkewitte’s text will be indispensable for today’s writing classroom."Stephanie Vie, Professor and Department Chair of Writing and Rhetoric, University of Central Florida
