No end to the writing & literacy articles today...

There was a glut of relevant articles today in my news feeds -- once we start looking, they ALL seem too good to miss.

"Can Twitter Turn Students Into Better Writers?"

Many of you have found articles looking at how the Internet has changed the culture of learning -- this article discusses the question of whether online writing -- on social Web forums, such as Twitter, improve or are detrimental to students' writing --
Here's the final quote that notes that there is no easy answer to this question:

"...As non-anecdotal evidence on writing skills creeps in, it could change the curriculum, perhaps banishing Internet-driven composition from the classroom, or perhaps encouraging it."
