so here i am going through various piles of papers and file folders that have piled up over the last several weeks, and I find a folder from cccc 1999. i knew that it had my presentation in it, and I’d been shifting it around because I intend to type it up but never get around to it. not overly exciting, but it was a pain to research (i calculated statistics on the appearance of computer words in cccc programs) so i felt like i should put it out there.<\/p>\n
i pull out the papers in the folder, and i find a draft document, “Guidelines for the Use of Computer Technologies in Technological Literacy Initiatives.” at first, i thought that i’d dropped the ball on something. i glance over it, and it’s nicely done. looks very smart. where did it come from? i look further, and i find the handwritten notes. it’s my text. i wrote this thing and shared the draft in Atlanta and then never finished it. <\/p>\n
i’m always amazed when i find texts like this. it doesn’t happen often. i have this strong, smart voice. so strong and so smart in this draft that i was certain it wasn’t mine. and yet, the handwritten copy proves that it is. i look at it and wonder where that person came from and what on earth suggested to her that she could write that kind of text five years ago. <\/p>\n
maybe i oughta finish it and put it online now, if only i can that that smart girl with the strong voice again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
