Abstract
Word processing is considered by many computer advocates to
be one of the potentially most significant contributions of
computers to education at all levels. Most research has
concentrated on the post-secondary and secondary application of
computers in composition and very little has been done at the
elementary level. As vice principal of the Vauxhall Elementary
School, I have been involved for the past four years with the
implementation of computers in elementary education. My major focus
during the past two years has been the use of word processing in
writing instruction and particularly in the generation of student
newspapers. This project was intended to describe, analyze and
interpret a particular classroom experience, to explore issues
arising from the experience and from similar experiences of others,
to synthesize conclusions and implications and suggest directions
for the future.
