| CCCC/98 Online | http://www.ncte.org/cccc/98/ ----------------------------- * Keynote Preview * CFP for Atlanta in 99 available * New web forums --------------- KEYNOTE PREVIEW --------------- Cynthia Selfe has generously agreed to share an extensive draft of her keynote address, "Technology and Literacy: A Story about the Perils of Not Paying Attention," in advance of the CCCC convention in Chicago. There is a web forum included with the text. Responses and conversation on the issues Cindy raises are welcome! http://www.ncte.org/forums/selfe/ The text makes for compelling reading and deals with some of the toughest issues we have before us as new technologies continue to change our economy, our culture, and our understanding of literacy and education. Cindy urges us to *pay attention* to the forces and changes around us. Question of access, power, and class can be avoided only at great risk to our profession and our students. -------------------------- CCCC 99 Call for Proposals -------------------------- The CFP for CCCC/99 is available in two formats: PDF for those who have Adobe Acrobat Reader (available free from http://www.adobe.com) and would like a faithful reproduction of the printed version, and HTML for those who would like to view the document on the web. http://www.ncte.org/cccc/99/99cfp.pdf http://www.ncte.org/cccc/99/99cfp.html We will be accepting proposals via the web again this year, though that option is still considered a pilot project and will be limited to proposals in a handful of clusters.
