Abstract
Presentation Abstract: As our students spend more time on the Internet and less time with actual physical texts, it becomes essential for educators to adopt new tools to teach the pedagogy of English composition and writing skills. Using the history of interactive fiction (from its inception to its current state with high concept games such as Grand Theft Auto) and the growing arena of "text" based language (i.e. the new language of texting), students learn how they write each and every day, how they are constantly creating stories and determining thesis, and how they are drafting the new dictionary of the future. The notion that video gaming (interactive fiction) and texting must be acknowledged by educators as a real tool for disseminating information is showcased via actual demonstration using these tools (as used in the actual classroom). ... Technology: Internet based learning, hypertext, interactive fiction, email and texting, Powerpoint, web interface ... Delivery Method: In class and online
