Poised as we are at the end of the first decade of using computers in
writing classes, 1993 seems a good time to pause and reflect upon
what we have discovered during the last ten years and to look
forward to the next ten.  The program chairs invite interested parties
to propose papers, sessions, or workshops.  We are particularly
interested in proposals exploring one or more of the following
themes:

   --Computers, Writing, and the K-12 classroom
   --Getting started with computers and writing instruction
   --Applications of hypertext in the teaching of writing
   --Multimedia and writing instruction
   --Computers and the reading-writing connection
   --Explorations of the virtual classroom
   --Uses of computers in promoting collaborations:
          --among students
          --across disciplines
          --over long distances
   --The effects of computers:
          --on the learning process
          --on the interactions among students and teachers
   --Changing sociopolitical contexts for computer use

Proposals:  Send three copies of a two-page (double-spaced) abstract
for a paper, panel, or workshop.  Include:  name(s), affiliation(s),
address(es), telephone number(s) and, if possible, e-mail address(es)
for all partcipants.  Also include audiovisual or other equipment
needs (including computers, projection, etc).
