Word Processing

I was very intrigued by the section of the chapter that discussed how the present technology is allowing different intelligences to come to the for ground. A teacher could create lesson and post it on the Internet, that lesson can now have written text, images, and audio. The students could choose which media they wanted to access the information via. I really like this idea. It is something that I had not thought about before.

The chapter also discusses how word processing allows students to produce and edit a piece of writing much more quickly than pen and paper, and this is certainly true. However, getting the students as comfortable Word as they are with pencil, eraser, and paper is in of itself an arduous task, and as of right now my computer time is limited. I think if student are to become truly adapt at word processing and reap the benefits of it a lot more time needs to be allotted to the computer lab, and I see this being a long way off. I think computers need to be it eh room, before this ease will ever be gained.
