Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.

1. What are the problems struggling writers have in writing classes?
          Struggling writers are often less motivated to write and fails to organize their ideas. They also have problems in expressing their idea through composition and have trouble communicating and understanding their teacher. Additionally, many struggling writersprimary  writing problems involve a lack of confidence in producing text and insecure feeling about showing their writing.

2. What does 'digital writing' refer to?
Digital writing is becoming a standard way of life for young learners. The ways that computers and technology have become basic needs for Generation M have given rise to digital writing as the medium to communicate with each other.






3. What are the three digital writing tools? Give brief descriptions?

📌A blog is a discussion, informational article or personal journal, published on the World Wide Web, which is often frequently updated.

📌Instant Messaging (IM))is a form of Internet-based, real time text communication between users on the same system.

📌A network site (SNS) is a website or an online service platform in which interest, create a public or semi-public profile, and interact with other users.




4. How has digital writing enhanced the teaching of writing?
💡First, many digital writing applications offer an anonymity feature. They provide opportunities for users to use nicknames or pseudonyms. This anonymous identity results in less anxiety and more pleasant classrooms, and enhances a peer feedback activity.
💡Second in digital writing, learners actually type out what they want to communicate to the group or readers. They can can view their langue messages as they produce them, they are more likely to monitor and self-repair or edit their messages.
💡Third, digital writing promotes learners' equity in terms of interaction. This feature, furthermore, encourages collaborative, which has a positive effect on students' writing proficiency, especially with struggling writers and students who are shy and passive learners.





5. What are the things that you should take into consideration to employ digital writing for teaching academic writing?




💣Many English teachers are still concerned that its specific register such as shorthand and emoticons may yield negative impact to many teen users. This specific discourse register has been continually debated among scholars whether or not it can harm young Generation M learners' academic discourse. English teachers and scholars are worried that these easy-to use symbolic abbreviations will likely deconstruct verifiable grammatical rules. They also complain about teens use of digital writing, especially when using IM, that teens often use a language style in their academic writing.







6. Which activity do you like most? Why?
I like the third activity most. That is Scavenger. This activity, students have to go different places trying to find the answer that their leader assign them. All communicate will be through IM synchronouns chat such as Line, Facebook and Skype, etc. and teacher can monitor their conversation. In my opinion, this activity let student to move different place over their classroom and they will have a lot of fun , so it can motivate student to pay more attention to learn.
