This post may be a no-brainer for some people in this class, but I think one of the main fears I have about teaching thoroughly new genres in new mediums is that I'm not sure if I can assess them fairly and competently. I'm not as concerned about the "teaching new media what-not will take away from writing time," as Chapman discusses, because I think that any syllabus should be aware of this potential. As I find myself incorporating more new media writing into my courses, I constantly check to make sure I'm providing a level of direct writing instruction and practice in the classroom.
