CCCC Chicago 2006

CCCC Chicago 2006 (Jerz’s Literacy Weblog)



I’m in Chicago this week for the Conference on College Composition and Communication. I had a very hectic weekend doing some emergency blog maintenance, working an article I had promised and a story pitch for which I’ve got high hopes, and working ahead so my students can work on their own until I get back.

I got in to the hotel about 9pm last night, and though I had my laptop with me and a good wireless connection, I didn’t get much work done.

I slept in until about 10am.

I’ll mosey out of here and head over to the conference hotel in a few hours. I’ll try to liveblog the conference, if I can.

Update, 23 Mar: Here is Day 1 of the CCCCs blogged.
