THATCamp Digital Writing
THATCamp is a wonderful and free opportunity to share ideas on a range of subjects with people from around the world. Fordham University and CUNY are hosting THATCamp Digital Writing, May 2-3, 2014. See the website for full details: http://digitalwriting2014.thatcamp.org/.
Register early to reserve your place (some preference given to Fordham people). Volunteers are needed for part of or all day May 3 (contact Elizabeth Cornell: cornellgoldw@fordham.edu).
From tweeting to multimodal research papers to Prezi, writing these days means more than just black text on a white background. Through workshops and discussions, THATCamp Digital Writing aims to deepen and advance our notions of all facets of composition. Participants in THATCamp Digital Writing will explore how to effectively compose using different digital tools and platforms. We begin with a special lecture on Friday afternoon, May 2, 2014, at John Jay College, and continue all day Saturday, May 3, 2014 at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus with workshops, discussions, and a Maker Challenge.
At THATCamp Digital Writing, join a dynamic cast of participants to
- Learn more about innovative ways to digitize your work and publish it online
- Share pedagogical methods that use digital media for writing and research assignments
- Explore how to evaluate online writing and give feedback
- Question how tools, technology, and methods for publishing work shape the way we write

TCDW is being organized by Amanda Licastro, a PhD candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center, and Elizabeth Cornell, IT Communications Specialist at Fordham University.
