TRACI KELLY’S EDITORIAL POSITION
Traci Kelly has gained a position with "Kairos," an on-line journal for Teachers of Writing in Webbed Environments. It explores theoretical, pedagogical, and practical application points about teaching writing in this age of technology. It's a "journal" that really pushes concepts of writing, linear thought, and the "form" of writing.
