The Hocks Piece

I found the Hocks piece to be pretty disappointing. The title sounded exciting, but as it turned out to focus on the analysis of existing sites and pedagogical applications, the information seemed very basic and (does it sound condescending if I say) elementary. The sites were interesting (especially the Xena site), but the author failed, in my opinion, to extract any overarching concepts that would have made me actually highlight something within her text. Perhaps I am being unnecessarily hard on the piece. What did you guys think?

I think I know what you mean. The writing was focused, but dry, and it felt like Hocks was explaining it from a "how-to" standpoint, rather than really developing a clear thesis. In reality, it would have been more effective as two separate articles, one concerning the effects of splicing visual and written elements together, and the other on practical applications for teachers. Combined like this, both aspects lose focus.
