Download or read book Computers Composing written by Jeanne W. Halpern and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended to (1) acquaint teachers with the potential of computers, (2) show them what changes writers may have to make in their composing habits, and (3) inform teachers of the changes they may have to make in course syllabi to prepare students for the demands of the electronic world, this book examines the impact of technology on composition instruction. The first chapter discusses the capabilities and rapidly growing use in the business and professional world of such electronic technology as telecommunication systems and audio and electronic mail systems. The second chapter distills information about dictation and word processing systems from an extensive review of research literature and from interviews with computer users and trainers at various business sites across the country. Based on this, the third chapter outlines the curricula required to enable students to be effective composers at the computer. The fourth chapter contains forecasts of the kinds of research still needed for teachers to develop fruitful programs and strategies in the composition classroom. Appendixes include materials from the interviews, and information on audio mail systems and dictation processes. (HTH)

Download or read book Computers and the Teaching of Writing in American Higher Education 1979 1994 written by Gail E. Hawisher and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1996 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history composed of histories. Its particular focus is the way in which computers entered and changed the field of composition studies, a field that defines itself both as a research community and as a community of teachers. This may have a somewhat sinister suggestion that technology alone has agency, but this history (made of histories) is not principally about computers. It is about people-the teachers and scholars who have adapted the computer to their personal and professional purposes. From the authors' perspectives, change in technology drives changes in the ways we live and work, and we, agents to a degree in control of our own lives, use technology to achieve our human purposes. REVIEW: . . . This book reminds those of us now using computers to teach writing where we have been, and it brings those who are just entering the field up to date. More important, it will inform administrators, curriculum specialists, and others responsible for implementing the future uses of technology in writing instruction. - Computers and Composition

Download or read book Computers in the Writing Classroom written by Dave Moeller and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all students, the ability to write, to use a word-processing program, and to unite the two skills in a synergistic blend of form and content has become a key factor in achieving academic success. This book presents teachers with a framework for helping them help students achieve this success. Divided into two parts, the book provides teachers with guidance for incorporating computers into the writing classroom and for making computers "the" essential tool for writing and writing instruction. The first part of the book, "Theory and Research," discusses the theoretical underpinnings of computer-assisted writing instruction, and the second part, "Practice," features a compilation of practical suggestions for teaching writing with computers, including a wide assortment of writing lessons specifically designed to exploit the more "writer-friendly" features of the word processor. (Contains 70 references and 9 notes.) (NKA)
Download or read book Computers in Second Language L2 Composition Classrooms written by Gloria Ester Ulloa-Caceres and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As education incorporated technology into classroom pedagogy, second language writing instruction experimented with computers in the teaching of writing in English as a second language. Though abundant, the research has yet to address second language students' perception of the use of computers in the writing instruction. This descriptive study examines the views of 15 students who took Linguistics 101, a first semester composition course for second language learners, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Data was collected through pre- and post-diagnostic essays, surveys, and interviews. At the beginning of the Fall 2006 semester, students did not show much interest in the presence or use of computers in the writing classroom; at the end of the academic term, students not only had a positive attitude toward computers, but also were able to perceive that the computer could benefit learners in the process of becoming better writers. Furthermore, the study presents pedagogical practices that can be used in the classroom to enhance the use of computers in the teaching of writing in the second language. Chapter One introduces the research problem and the rationale for this type of study. Chapter Two provides a historical background of the writing instruction and research in English as a second language as well as an overview of the impact computers have had on the teaching of L2 writing. Chapter Three describes the methodology of the study. Chapters Four and Five respectively provide the results and analysis of the study. Chapter Six addresses the limitations and conclusions of this study plus offers recommendation for future research. The appendices provide copies of the materials used to collect data, of students' pre- and post-diagnostic essays, the scoring rubrics, and a collection of activities for the computer classroom.
Download or read book Complicating Notions of Access written by Trishena Neiveen Phegley and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the integration of computer technology into our composition curriculum looms closer to becoming a permanent fixture, we must consider the implications for our students. Their access to computer technology is key to their academic success, but we must recognize that access is much more complicated than simply the presence or absence of technology and the ability or inability to make use of that technology. Within the university community, it is vital that we understand our students' culture as it relates to their skill level and experiences with technology so that we do not continue to replicate educational inequities and reinforce class stratifications. At the same time, we must consider how we can provide all students with a writing instruction environment that best meets their current needs. The research I have conducted for this project combines a variety of research methods including anecdotal evidence, surveys, and interviews in order to provide a general picture of this institution's first-year student population as well as more specific profiles to illustrate the type of individuals who may make up our classrooms. In complicating the nature of access, I illustrate that meeting our students' needs concerning technology requires a scale that encompasses a wide range of needs and/or limitations rather the black and white solution of simply providing computers for student use. Students are subject to specific conditions of access which include the following: software compatible with the school's, necessary hardware such as a printer and disk drives, Internet access, time for unrestricted exploration of computer and Internet, and considerable exposure to technology while young. I also illustrate that the level of access a student has to technology affects that student's relationship to the technology when writing and revising. I conclude with a discussion of student agency in relation to technology when composing.

Download or read book Electronic Quills written by Bertram C. Bruce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume centers on the words and experiences of teachers and students who used QUILL -- a software package developed by the authors to aid in writing instruction. It looks in detail at the stories of these early users and considers questions relevant for other teachers, students, researchers, and developers of educational innovations. Questions posed include: * What does it mean to develop an environment for literacy in an actual classroom? * How can a teacher create an environment in which students work together toward meaningful goals? * How can a teacher promote the rich communication so necessary for developing language? * What is the role of technology in the practice and development of literacy? The examination of the QUILL experiences provides a fuller and more revealing account of what it meant to use QUILL than would have been possible through standard evaluation techniques. At the same time, the focus on the particulars also finds analogues in analyses of similar pieces of open-ended software or educational innovations in general.
