Although it was the overall topic of “Integrating Computers into the Writing Classroom”, I found the most appealing part of this essay to be the exact realization of the more analytical side to computer usage. Students being hesitant or edgy when using computers to create, revise and complete writing assignments is prevalent in any beginning composition course. Remembering back to my first year comp. classes I can say that being new to college was enough pressure yet alone putting our thoughts on a screen to be graded for what they were: words on a screen.
