Book Synopsis Teaching Writing with the Computer as Helper by : J. Terence Kelly
Download or read book Teaching Writing with the Computer as Helper written by J. Terence Kelly and published by American Association of Community Colleges(AACC). This book was released on 1982 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instructional management system, called Response System with Variable Prescriptions (RSVP), is described in this report as it is used at Miami-Dade Community College (MDCC). Following introductory material, the relevance of such a system to current educational issues is explored and the use of computer technology in education is discussed. The RSVP system is then introduced, and its applications in subject area instruction, student advisement, and other areas are reviewed. The RSVP Feedback Program for Individualized Analysis of Writing is the focus of the remainder of the report. The program description indicates that the sequence of activities in the writing program includes the following: (1) students turn in writing assignments; (2) the instructor chooses a level of achievement represented by the writing sample; (3) the instructor identifies the errors which should be addressed; (4) the instructor makes comments on the writing sample; (5) the computer generates exercises and feedback to address the identified errors; and (6) the RSVP feedback letters are distributed in class with the assignments. Samples of student writing and the RSVP materials generated by the teacher and computer are provided. The report then presents results of a field test of the RSVP writing program and a discussion of how the writing program has been implemented with particular groups of students. A bibliography of literature on RSVP is followed by concluding remarks on the success and future of RSVP. (KL)

Book Synopsis Computers in the Writing Classroom by : Dave Moeller
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)
Book Synopsis The Computer, the Writer and the Learner by : Noel Williams
Download or read book The Computer, the Writer and the Learner written by Noel Williams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computers are gradually infiltrating all stages of the writing process. Increasingly, teachers, writers, students, software developers, technical authors, and computer scientists need to learn more about the effective use of computers for writing. This book discusses how computers can help support writing. It explores the issues associated with using computers to train and help writers, concentrating on computational and user aspects and reviewing practical, economic and institutional issues. Noel Williams balances theoretical and practical concerns, to meet the needs of researchers and practising trainers of writing. There is also a brief evaluation available software products, together with advice about the major considerations and pitfalls of working on custom-made software. The book is based on five years of research by the Communication and Information Research Group (CIRG) at Sheffield City Polytechnic into the value of computer-based approaches to training and helping writers. The work was funded and supported by the Training Agency, IBM, AT&T, Rolls Royce, NAB and GEC. The Computer, the Writer and the Learner is for people who are using, or are thinking of using, computers to teach or support writing, and for designers of computer-based writing systems. Many such people are unaware of the nature and use of existing systems, and of the possibilities they offer. Developers often lack detailed knowledge of other projects and of the range of users' needs. Although the bias of the book is towards the teacher, trainer and student, most of the content deals with issues that developers will want to know about.

Book Synopsis Multiliteracies for a Digital Age by : Stuart Selber
Download or read book Multiliteracies for a Digital Age written by Stuart Selber and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2004-01-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the majority of books about computer literacy deal more with technological issues than with literacy issues, most computer literacy programs overemphasize technical skills and fail to adequately prepare students for the writing and communications tasks in a technology-driven era. Multiliteracies for a Digital Age serves as a guide for composition teachers to develop effective, full-scale computer literacy programs that are also professionally responsible by emphasizing different kinds of literacies and proposing methods for helping students move among them in strategic ways. Defining computer literacy as a domain of writing and communication, Stuart A. Selber addresses the questions that few other computer literacy texts consider: What should a computer literate student be able to do? What is required of literacy teachers to educate such a student? How can functional computer literacy fit within the values of teaching writing and communication as a profession? Reimagining functional literacy in ways that speak to teachers of writing and communication, he builds a framework for computer literacy instruction that blends functional, critical, and rhetorical concerns in the interest of social action and change. Multiliteracies for a Digital Age reviews the extensive literature on computer literacy and critiques it from a humanistic perspective. This approach, which will remain useful as new versions of computer hardware and software inevitably replace old versions, helps to usher students into an understanding of the biases, belief systems, and politics inherent in technological contexts. Selber redefines rhetoric at the nexus of technology and literacy and argues that students should be prepared as authors of twenty-first-century texts that defy the established purview of English departments. The result is a rich portrait of the ideal multiliterate student in a digital age and a social approach to computer literacy envisioned with the requirements for systemic change in mind.

Book Synopsis Electronic Quills by : Bertram C. Bruce
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 249 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.
Book Synopsis Writing and Thinking with Computers by : Rick Monroe
Download or read book Writing and Thinking with Computers written by Rick Monroe and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the premise that English and language arts curricula should be developed by committed teachers, this book is designed to help teachers use computers in a seamless way. Focusing on what and how students learn, the book is a practical and progressive guide, showing how technology can be infused into the English/language arts curriculum without abandoning reading, writing, thinking, listening, and speaking. The introduction to the book provides the philosophical framework and rationale for an application-based computer curriculum to teach writing and thinking. The first chapter presents sample computer writing and thinking lessons that range from the simple to the sophisticated. The second chapter explains how to set up and manage a local area network, a powerful learning environment. The third chapter talks briefly about how to extend the uses of technology and invites the reader to imagine additional ways in which computers might extend what is already being practiced. The final chapter includes some sample lessons for teachers and administrators interested in writing across the disciplines, one of the richest uses of computer networks. A description of learning log procedures, and a list of 21 resources for teachers (books, journal articles, periodicals, and catalogs) are attached. (RS)
