  1. Learning Circles:Computer Writing Instruction Jeff Gundy Darko Arsov Kari Sommers Lauren Selleck Jessica Basinger

  2. Fall Semester 2001 • Explored the theory and practice of using computers to assist writing instruction • Read widely in the field of Computer Writing Instruction • Used Daedalus and Connect Web, two CWI programs, and discussed the best and worst points of each. • Learned how to use our computers in a class conducted by Peter Terry.

  3. Our Conclusions • Daedalus and Connect Web would be good to use in classrooms to help in composition and editing of papers. • There are various programs that could be used and explored further such as MOOs and MUDs that seem interesting and worthwhile

  4. What Peter Taught Us: • When making a present ation, be sure that everyone can see what you are writing • When using graphics, make sure they aren’t too busy or unclear. • Don’t do what we just did!

  5. Spring Semester 2002 • Each took a class from Professor Gundy and ‘adopted’ it. • We worked towards compiling the online information generated by each class and using this as an aid for the students. • We created a website that showed our work up to this point, including all our responses from last semester and our web pages from this semester.

  6. Conclusion • Computers can be used in the classroom in various ways through online discussion, journals, or teaching aids. • Computers should be included in the classroom because they are a helpful tool.
