John says, "We were looking for a different approach, a different way to organize the CW2K presentations. Two years prior, at the CW98 in Gainesville, FL, members of the Computers and Writing Community expressed an interest in reaching out to businesses and industry, as well as to other disciplines, and to forge relationships that would enhance the promotion of computer technology for teaching, learning, and research. We took what our colleagues said to heart and made this initiative our mission and, in doing so, opened our conference, the Computers and Writing 2000 Conference, to groups and businesses not traditionally represented or emphasized."    Next
