| Title: | An Examination of the Role of Computers in Teaching Language and Literature |
| Author(s): | Bruce, Bertram C. |
| Subject(s): | Computers
Language Language learning Language and Literacy Literacy |
| Abstract: | Computers and language are intimately connected in four ways: (1) the computer is a tool for representing knowledge through symbols, (2) it is a device for interpreting symbolic structures, (3) it is a communication device, and (4) it is a redefinable tool. This essay considers these four aspects of computers by taking an excursion into a classroom of the year 2010, and then looking back to evidence of precursors in classrooms of the 1980's. |
