Keeping Students, Not Technology, at the Center of Practice || Shareen Grogan, National University, California, United States, sgrogan@nu.edu || Working with writers online promises to be egalitarian, democratic, and collaborative, but it is not necessarily so. Web conferencing affords many tools for tutors and students to interact; however, these tools can facilitate the tendency to focus on texts rather than on students and so can run counter to writing center pedagogy that places students at the center. This presentation will examine the ways that technology can potentially disempower students and how tutor training and careful writing center practice can keep technology in its place as a vehicle for meeting our pedagogical goals rather than as a determiner of practice. || General Session Forum All ||
