Welcome to WRI 333, otherwise known as Digital Rhetoric and Writing!
My name is Emmeline, and I will be your guide through the first few weeks of the semester. This is the second time I am taking WRI 333, which you can learn more about in my first blog post. Something I will mention right off the bat is to be sure to stay on top of your assignments! I’ve found that this is a common issue between the two versions of this course that I have taken. Falling behind will cause you emotional pain in the future!
The first few classes of this semester were focused on setting up our WordPress accounts. In case you haven’t noticed, I have a typo in my URL. Don’t worry, you can name your blog whatever you’d like to! Maybe I should change the branding of my site to match my typo, that way it looks like I did it on purpose?
Our first reading was Douglas Eyman’s Digital Rhetoric: Theory, Method, Practice, which you can find online as well as via PDF form on D2L. I personally found the online version to be more helpful when it came to writing about it for that day’s blog posts. I liked that it allowed me to easily search for terms that Eyman included.
If you want to learn more about Eyman’s “meanings” of Digital Rhetoric, you can read my blog post about it here. If you’re more of a visual/audio learner, I also found videos that help expand on those terms and blogged about it here.
