Theme: Technology and Change The rapid acceleration of change in the area of computers and writing causes some consternation--but also considerable exhilaration--among educators at all levels. The conference will highlight our attempts to cope and to stay current with the potential for technology in the writing field. This unique conference brings together educators from all levels and types of educational institutions who have a common interest in the uses of computer technology for writing instruction. Invitation: Send in your Proposals We invite proposals that pertain in some way to the uses of computers at any level of writing education: K-12 to all types of post-secondary educational institutions. We especially welcome proposals for hands-on sessions, demonstrations, or any other interactive format. Concurrent sessions will accommodate individual 20-minute "talks," panels with three to four speakers, or one-and-a-half hour interactive presentations or demonstrations. Ongoing "poster" sessions for demonstrations throughout the conference are also possible. Furthermore, we are looking for half-day workshop proposals, to be offered both pre- and post-conference. Standard networked PC and MAC equipment will be provided. Suggested Topics: classroom uses, collaboration, distance education, networks, hypertext & hypermedia, virtual classrooms, impacts of the internet.
