Week 12 Agenda

1. The Converging Literacies Center

Now this ISN'T CLiC . . .



Nor is this . . .


But we've got plenty of support for you. Drop on by! Or make an appointment and we'll help you where you are and/or in the CLiC-designated spaces of the library. Let us know (see above for info).

And CLiC is growing and evolving. More equipment available soon. Fancier digs.

And you guys are in on the ground floor. Give us a workout. Help us understand how to best help you.

Here's an article describing CLiC: http://www.tamu-commerce.edu/litlang/CLiCweb/WebResources/CLiCwebsiteRev3.html

(It's been accepted by the journal Kairos and Donna and I are in the midst of some revisions)

2. Tour CLiC's evolving digs (the "CLiC you can point to")

3. Workshop projects in progress

4. Picassa tutorial

5. Workshop time

(we'll table Lessing until next time; poor guy)

  1. I like the ways that Rutger builds and invests on equipment and construction. TCU does the similar to above mentioned. That is the trend of 21st century writing center.

    What we do here in TAMU-Commerce is not so different from those. We have the "willingness' and 'eagerness' from our 'human asset' even less funding with fancy equipment. I can feel anytime I step into our writing center.

    This makes ours charming to me.

  2. I like the quote from Rutger's video.

    "...to be iterated in the 21st century, you have to be communicated on the screen..."

    (4:31-4:37)

    This is the idea on Writing with New Media that we're taking.

    In addition, most of the literature is being transformed from paper-based onto electronic-based. We need to be able to be dexterously manipulate the mode of communication. (Dr. Carter, I like the word "dexterity" in your latest book, The Way Literacy Lives: Rhetorical Dexterity and Basic Writing Instruction) It is meaningful.

  3. After visiting CliC at the library today, I am so proud of the effort that every people have put on this center. This is going to be the collaborating point for TAMU-C students to share the value of being a student here.

    Anyway, if I can be any of your help, at least any little one, I would be very much happy to do.

    Cheer!
