This weekend I got asked to be on the opening panel at the conference we hosted here, Computers and Writing 2009.  The conference theme was Ubiquitous Computing, and the majority of the people in the field study technology use in writing classes in higher education (although there are some more broad themes).  So I was supposed to be representing “The K-12 Perspective.”  Kind of a tall order for five minutes.

But, interestingly enough, I think that the thoughts I threw together the night before (yes, literally.  grad students, do as I say, not as I do…) managed to do a good job of describing the things I really care about right now and am working on.  So here it is.
