- Summary:
-
Since an increasing number of English teachers are being asked to find a place for computers in the English program, this monograph focuses on issues connected to this technology. The first article sets the stage with a discussion of the power and potential of the computer. Other articles focus on the following topics: (1) promises and shortcomings of computer technology, (2) a districtwide planning approach to computer use, (3) computers and the writing process, (4) the development of a computer writing program to meet the needs of students with some special needs, (5) the practical implications of the computer in an English program at the university level, (6) the "ins" and "outs" of software selection, (7) personal reactions to program reviewed by the authors, (8) advice to teachers who must make decisions about what to buy, and (9) personal accounts of two teachers and one student who became involved in computers--professionally and personally.
