Newman, Judith M. – Language Arts, 1984
Examines two language arts computer innovations that are based on the process view of reading and writing rather than on the "reductionist" or individual skills view. The first is a software program called "Puzzler," the second is the application of word processing in composition. (HTH)

Newman, Judith M. – Language Arts, 1987
Examines a number of language activities in educational software, noting that most focus on surface structure and conventions, thus closing off students' options rather than expanding them. Discusses how, by improvising with word processors, teachers can tailor activities to help students explore and reflect on their reading and writing…

Piper, Karen L. – 1983
Microcomputer technology can assist students in two important phases of basic skills instruction--acquisition and application. Providing interactive practice with immediate feedback in a way that most students find motivating, microcomputers can help students build a solid foundation in such basic skills as punctuation use. In addition, word…
