Computers and Creative Writing
In
researching motivation in middle school creative writing students, I found
that they especially enjoy writing on a computer. In order to capitalize
on this area of motivation, I began searching journals for ideas which
could be incorporated into my creative writing lessons. I was pleased
to discover that many teachers are using the internet for teaching
creative writing. In examining this issue, I explored books, journal
articles, numerous websites, and postings on educational chatboards.
I also talked with other teachers who have taught creative writing using
computers about how using the internet has affected motivation in
their students.
