I will take a look at your presentation. I've looked at your blog and your work looks very interesting--I'll stop by there at some point, looking for material to teach among other things. Thanks again. Thanks, Debra, I appreciate that. I will take a look at your presentation.

"As a result of such a pedagogy, students do not imitate the already completed and canonized work of scholars at several removes—they do the work of scholars, however clumsily and uncertainly." Yes! From my role as innovative writer, and teacher trying to change the instructional paradigm to better reflect the transmutational world (esp. new technologies as they relate to learning), I see your arguments as addressing the needs not only of students but anyone needing to think more "cleanly" about the world. You might be interested in a presentation I gave at this year's Associated Writing Programs Conference in New York, "Fall Into The Gap." It's a two-part video on my blog: http://gertrudesbasket.blogspot.com Again, great paper! Debra Di Blasi www.debradiblasi.com Adam: What a brilliant paper!
