Eric Crump just posted this to a number of lists, but he can't put it on CASLL, where he's stigmatized as a spammer. I thought some folks might be interested, anyway. -- Russ ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: Eric Crump <[log in to unmask]> For those of you who are interested in what's happening at the CCCC convention in Atlanta but are unable to make the journey, the first taste of the event is now available. A few presenters have kindly provided texts from their presentations (some abstracts, some papers) and several asked that we create discussion forums so folks could respond to their ideas. You don't have to be in Atlanta to get a taste of these sessions or to make comments about them. In fact, given the nature of most convention session Q&A, I reckon you all can have more of a say than people who are here & out of reach of their computers. So far we have the following discussion forums available: The Vilifying Rhetoric of The Usual Suspects (David Blakesley) http://www.ncte.org/HyperNews/get/forums/cccc99/Blakesley.html Web Based Instruction for the Writing Classroom (Marshall Kitchens) http://www.ncte.org/HyperNews/get/forums/cccc99/Kitchens.html Technology, Literacy, and CCCC: Past, Present, and Future (Traci Gardner) http://www.ncte.org/HyperNews/get/forums/cccc99/Gardner.html The Need for Making Rhetoric Visible as an Evaluative Standard for Internet Information (Nick Carbone) http://www.ncte.org/HyperNews/get/forums/cccc99/Carbone.html The Spook Who Sits by the Door; or, The Invisibility of the Female Civil Rights Activist in Composition Anthologies (Samantha Blackmon) http://www.ncte.org/HyperNews/get/forums/cccc99/Blackmon.html Expanding Vision: How Service Learning Projects with the Elderly Foster a Social Imagination (Linda Anstendig) http://www.ncte.org/HyperNews/get/forums/cccc99/Anstendig.html Establishing Composition Grading Standards in the Department and Beyond (Ruth Benander) http://www.ncte.org/HyperNews/get/forums/cccc99/Benander.html The Fifth C: Computers (Traci Gardner) http://www.ncte.org/HyperNews/get/forums/cccc99/Gardner2.html More to come, I hope!
