Making Space: A Review of the Tenth Annual Meeting of the Great Plains Alliance for Computers and Writing
Welcome to Currents in Electronic Literacy’s review of the Tenth Annual Meeting of the Great Plains Alliance for Computers and Writing, held November 10th in Mankato, Minnesota. Our collective review of the conference theme (“Online Pedagogies: Making Space for Social Networks”) continues the tradition of documenting some of our field's emerging research and scholarship set forth in other web documents such as the CCCC Interactive Reviews. We find this work especially poignant given the fact that the Great Plains Alliance is the last surviving regional conference in Computers and Writing, and we lament the fact that so many wonderful ideas presented at past Great Plains meetings and other regional events have not been preserved or documented like they are here in this issue of Currents in Electronic Literacy. We hope these reviews provide you the opportunity to consider some of the current trends in social networking, teaching online and using learning management systems in the teaching of writing, and we look forward to continuing to document the wonderful work being presented and the ideas shaping our field.
