The Computers & Writing Conference is a yearly conference where teachers interested in literacy and teaching with technology meet for presentations, workshops, networking, and sharing both practice and scholarly research. The 2013 conference was held at Frostburg State University and the 2014 conference will be at Washington State University.
For people who can’t travel to the conference, a range of online, streamed, archived opportunities are available, including an active online conference component. A good example of conference resources is the Sweetland Digital Rhetoric Collaborative’s excellent 2013 collection of keynote and session reviews:
” … check out reviews of keynotes and individual sessions that delve into what it means to write digitally, teach composition with and through technologies, collaborate across curricular boundaries, and develop and extend methodologies for research. In their keynote addresses, Gee, King, and Stolley discuss digital writing as making across boundaries–making at times difficult and complex, but necessary and rewarding. Individual sessions focus on a range of topics related to computers and writing, including the intersection of race and the digital, MOOCs and their impact on our work, composing with aural and fan rhetorics, and evolving pedagogies for the 21st-century writing classroom.”
