Yancey is a promoter of effective communications. Therefore she is interested in (print and electronic) portfolios, technology, and teaching students. She is an advocate for teachers and students and seeks to improve students' writing and critical thinking.
However, she also has the goal to help students develop into global citizens making cinnections between work and the world. She is enthusiastic about teachers using technology in the classroom - word processors, Blackboard, projectors, and internet, to help students become part of a global public writing.
Yancey is also interested in developing the Fifth canon - Delivery. Technology opens up new space for invention and multi ways of delivery as we witnessed with Rhonda's presentation. At one time I had started to learn about Hyper text and now I am inspired to continue my education in this canon of ( electronic )delivery.
Yancey is both student centered and teacher centered and it woulod seem she is encouraging both to use the technology that we have now and build on it. She also demonstrated her interest in teachers as she graciously engaged in an email conversation with Rhonda for our benefit.
