Sexualities, Technologies, and the Teaching of Writing

One of the things that makes CCO special is its Print to Screen section where contributors to the current Computers and Composition have a chance to take their print article and give it the multi-dimensionality web-authoring makes possible. The Fall 2004 issue of Computers and Composition Online takes this a step further with guest editor Jacqueline Rhodes connecting our Theory into Practice, Virtual Classroom, Print to Screen, and Professional Development sections to September 2004's Computers and Composition's theme of Sexualities, Technologies, and the Teaching of Writing. In her introduction, Rhodes points out that "while many of us tend to agree that textuality and identity intersect rather intimately, we still differ--quite strenuously at times--over this intersection, the effects of it, and the feared/desired consequences of it." Rhodes calls it "a delightfully queer challenge," and I hope you'll agree.

The reviews section is not tied in to the theme, but is worth a look-- Kendra L. Matko reviews Picturing Texts and I review the web collection, Into the Blogosphere.
