New York State English Council's Scholarly Journal The English Record

Panel proposal for CCCC, 2008: Like the journey in a fairy tale, the
writing process is a journey into the unknown. Teaching the writing
process can be even more so. This panel is about planning for
serendipity: taking the first step into a dark forest and finding out
what's going to happen at the end when you get there. We are seeking
papers about already-attempted radical changes in teaching method using
technology and what happened when you took the plunge.
 
Please send proposal to organizers Judith Tabron & Ethna Lay at
judith.tabron_at_hofstra.edu by noon on May 1. We will be proposing this
panel for CCCC, "Writing Realities, Changing Realities" at New Orleans,
