Introduction

I plan on using this blog to record my thoughts and ideas about my research project for the semester. I have not narrowed down a specific topic, but I would like to look at how students use their knowledge about Internet communication in their writing for academic purposes. Some examples would be: their use of IM lingo when they are not communicating in IM, the way that they prefer the writing process to be instantaneous, like technology, and how they struggle with the lengthly revision process.
