I just got back from CCCC in New Orleans, and it was a fabulous conference–and a great location! Some of the highlights of the conference for me were:

• Chairing a terrific panel on plagiarism for my colleagues, whose talks were featured in Inside Higher Ed the following Monday
• Presenting on a panel with Dana Ferris and Gail Shuck, who shared some great strategies for working with L2 writers
• Facilitating a workshop on plagiarism and L2 writers with Rebecca Moore Howard
• Celebrating Sharon Crowley’s book award and (well-deserved!) retirement
• Sharing the plane to and from New Orleans and the taxi from the airport with a crazy bunch of folks from East Carolina
• Dinner at Broussard’s
• The view from the top floor of the Loews Hotel
• Realizing that I really only need to travel with my Blackberry…and I’m annoyingly addicted to checking it

Can’t wait until next year in San Francisco!
