Computers in Writing-Intensive Classrooms June 17-28, 2002
"CIWIC was the best professional development experience
I've had in twenty years!" "I've never been to a workshop, meeting, conference, or class where
people have been made to feel more enabled, encouraged, and nurtured to
work through their ideas." This workshop is where most participants choose to start in the CIWIC
program because it focuses on issues that are broadly pedagogical in nature.
Participants more experienced with computer use in the classroom and who
have specific interests in developing and thinking about new media may
elect to begin with the Integrating New Media (CIWIC-NM) workshop.
This workshop is for participants who already have some experience integrating
computers into classrooms and programs, but want to focus on developing
and thinking about new media texts and assignments for their classrooms
and programs. The focus in this workshop is on the composition of new
media texts and on new and exciting ways of thinking about the visual
as well as verbal texts.
The three institutes run concurrently for two weeks, consisting of 10
six-hour days with optional lunch and evening sessions. All use a state-of-the-art
computer facility, Michigan Tech's Center for Computer-Assisted Language
Instruction (CCLI). In addition to attending regularly scheduled sessions,
participants have 24-hour access to the lab/classroom for additional explorations
and practice. Cynthia Selfe, Anne Wysocki, Richard Selfe, and a team of
knowledgeable student consultants provide one-on-one instruction—on
both Macintosh and IBM platforms—in developing and using applications
suited for participants' own classrooms and Writing/English programs.
All participants will receive three semester-hours of graduate credit.

In its seventeenth year, CIWIC-AIC covers critical approaches to technology,
the thoughtful integration of technology into the composition classroom,
networks, hypertext, online course management tools, electronic conferencing,
purchase of software and hardware, lab management, and use of the World
Wide Web.
CIWIC-NM participants learn different graphics and authoring software
to compose multimedia texts. They also use those texts—as well as
pieces of student- and commercially-produced multimedia—as grounds
for discussing and developing compositional and rhetorical approaches
for teaching both the interpretation and the development of such new media
texts in the context of writing-intensive classrooms.
CIWIC-IP is an institute for past CIWIC participants with specific projects
in mind. Attendees design topics--and intense, project-focused one-on-one
support is provided.
