It also has an education department focused on supporting teachers and students using the service.”

I also recognize that the nature of writing has changed tremendously over those two decades due to the significant influence of digital tools and sources. Of course, today’s composers still must meet the commonly accepted conventions of the genre in which they are engaged, but our visual digital culture creates different demands than did the primarily print text-based world."

"The nature of writing has changed tremendously over those two decades due to the significant influence of digital tools and sources". We completely agree with this phrase. Our way of writing is changing more than we notice. I figure that adults notice this more than young people, because this last group were born with the Internet. Nevertheless, its very important to learn how to write properly, this article provides the tools and the practice we need.

Trying to follow the instructions in how-tos is not only a test of one's patience but also of one's faith in objective reality, because how-to authors' instructions and examples often miss several steps or seem to bear little relation to the goal you thought the article was supposed to address. Jim Lerman's insight: Quite a helpful piece; especially for those who have to do this often. A great writing assignment and it also leads directly to how to make flow charts.
