This reminds me a lot of a digital writing assignment I did in 11th grade. Instead of doing a traditional research paper, we did an informational "thread" on this website called Edmodo. It was reminiscent of a Twitter thread, basically. We had to make 10 different "posts" for the thread, which would be equivalent to paragraphs of a research paper.

With that being said, I really think this project I did is a great example of allowing students to be "knowledge creators"; not just because we were pretending to be "content creators" from social media. We weren't just researching information and presenting it in a unique way, we were controlling how the information was presented.

This is a super important point. Every student has different strengths, skills, and learning styles and preferences. With that being said, we need to "remix" the way we teach so that we can present information in new and exciting ways that students can benefit from. I think using digital formats can help with that--not only do they give a fresh, intriguing way to educate students, but in some cases, they can be engaging and interactive for students.
