Speaking of technology.... Okay, so Gilmore was writing this chapter for teachers who have never used a computer. Maybe I am being to hard on him. I think that technology should be used as a tool in the writing classroom.
I know that students need to understand how to utilize computers, because technology is continuing to rise and will probably never go away. It seems like today, if you can't use a computer, then you better learn how to do something else. You just can't seem to make it today without one.... Take my blogs for instance. Without them, I will not pass this class!
Obviously, students can write faster, write more, and check their spelling on a computer. And it is great that teachers can now project lessons in front of the classroom using a computer. But, I still think that students need to read more in order to become better writers.
