The following pages are a reflection on my technology experiences as a freshman composition instructor. I hope this e-portfolio clearly illustrates the need within our community to apply a solid e-space theory in freshman English composition, one that clearly defines our collaborative goal in regards to visual rhetoric. As a community we must merge our traditional curriculum with the concepts currently used in the electronic marketplace. We are not a separate entity running concurrently with the marketplace, but rather, a separate ends to the same means. In short, I believe electronic media should be viewed as a tool rather than as a distraction; it should incorporate academic literacy with visual and hypertextual literacy, creating a new genre of composition studies.
