  • "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)"
