Administering Teacher Technology Training
Teena A. M. Carnegie, Amy C. Kimme Hea, Melinda Turnley, and David Menchaca
"The collection of materials included here are designed to assist those, who for the first time, find themselves administering and developing an ongoing program for training teachers to use technology in the composition classroom. We have assumed that to create critical and ethical approaches to teacher technology training, developers will work collaboratively with various stakeholders to ensure that pedagogical and technological goals are clearly defined, responsive, and shared."
Building a Better Mousetrap: Essays in Moospace
Janice McIntire-Strasburg
"The traditional research essay has long been the method of choice for students to demonstrate their critical thinking skills in post-secondary courses. This essay suggests that a MOO essay can accomplish this same end--by moving students away from the traditional essay, and allowing them to think outside of the typical research essay format."

Teaching a Visual Rhetoric
Caryn Talty
"I hope this e-portfolio clearly illustrates the need within our community to apply a solid e-space theory in freshman English composition, one that clearly defines our collaborative goal in regards to visual rhetoric. As a community we must merge our traditional curriculum with the concepts currently used in the electronic marketplace. . . . I believe electronic media should be viewed as a tool rather than a distraction; it should incorporate academic literacy with visual and hypertextual literacy, creating a new genre of composition studies."
Reflective Pedagogies: Conflicting Stories from the Computer Labs
Jodi S. Cook, Hallie S. Lemon, Diana Gabbert, and Kathleen
O'Donnell-Brown
"As writing instructors, we teach in classrooms paired with computer labs
and often discuss issues such as those included in this hypertext. At
Western Illinois University we alternate days between a traditional
classroom and a computer lab. We wondered what is gained and lost as we
move from the more traditional classroom into the computer lab? Which
pedagogies work and which don't?"
