Summary "What are the implications for traditional literacy skills in the face of technological change? What is to become of handwriting and spelling when students do much of their work with the help of a computer? How does all this affect our notions of collaborative writing, of ownership of work, and of assessment?"--BOOK JACKET. "Writing and Learning with Computers helps teachers navigate these issues, exploring the new technologies impacting on writing - word processing, hypertext, the Internet - and their successful integration in the classroom. This book demonstrates that computing technology can assist students, the next generation of writers, to embrace and enjoy writing, surely the ultimate goal of writing 'instruction'."--BOOK JACKET
