I'm excited for the TYCA-PNW conference. I wasn't able to make it today (well, I guess now technically yesterday), but I am excited for Saturday. Sara Jameson and I (both from Oregon State) are giving a presentation in the morning titled "A Compass for the Composition Classroom: Conversing and Consuming in Cyberspace Communities." I thought I'd offer the handouts we'll give regarding blogs here on the TYCA blog via some links to PDF files. Please feel free to download them.
