The composing skills that students needed to master in the 20th century will continue to be important in this century, though alphabetic writing is no longer the dominant mode for communicating in the workplace or public square. We are all communicating more often in digital environments. Our changing media landscape requires that each of us learns to tackle the challenges and opportunities these new media present
