  Computers and the Teaching of Writing

  My responsibility for this webpage was to search the web for different resources regarding computers and their usage in the teaching of composition. What I found is a hodgepodge of sites, including the study of rhetoric, practical and applicable pedagogical resources, and other general writing resources. You shouldn't have to look too far to find a syllabus or two in case you're interested in how a cyberwriting class operates. Interspersed here and there are links for those creative writers in the audience, providing information about types of writing as well as publication avenues. Take a look around, and see if you can find what you're looking for.
