Welcome to Torg Stories February 6, 2013 Edition.

I talk with Boise State University composition instructor Emily Simnitt . I met Emily at the National Council for Teachers of English (NCTE) annual conference in Las Vegas during November of 2012. We did separate presentations related to Twitter and the teaching of writing. Emily is a doctoral student in English, Composition, and Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

In this conversation we talk about teaching college writing and how we incorporate Twitter into our pedagogy.
