Run with me as from Upper-Manhattan into Riverdale in the Bronx, and listen as I "go on" about a few different curriculum queries that have been bouncing around in my head. What I think underlies all fo the examples that a mention here is the notion that writing and multimedia production should be taught as communication and not as a technical skill.

Paul, we are thinking along similar lines. It's all about communication. My 8th grade design tech kids are working on projects: mapping systems, networks, and territories. Guiding questions for today's lesson were: Who is your audience? What is your purpose? What medium will you use?
