In ″Rhetoric′s Mechanics: Retooling the Equipment of Writing Production,″ Jenny Edbauer Rice recounts the teaching and learning of technology (and not just writing) in the Youth Document Durham (YDD) project. In that project, the focus included, rather than excluded, the need for students to gain ″mechanical″ experience with the technologies used to produce documents in various media. Now that you have designed a website, produced some video, and created some visual artifacts for your social media campaign, to what extent do you think a ″writer″ is someone who can learn and master technology? Should the technical part be left to someone else? Why or why not?
