New Media titles

Suppose you wanted students to do a multimedia project. Well, those don't just grow on trees. They might need a script and a storyboard, probably a planning document for where their various resources are coming from. If they're shooting any video, some plans for that. The various components of the text itself, and the writing together of those components -- it's a lot of small projects coming together to one big one. I would look in the literature on teaching multimodality
for tons of other project ideas -- a particularly rich book for this is Wysocki, Johnson-Eilola, Selfe, and Sirc's book from USU press, Writing New Media (ISBN 0-87421-575-7).
