Computer Writing Development in a Prekindergarten Class of 4 Year Olds.
Moxley, Roy A.; And Others
Journal of Computing in Childhood Education, v5 n2 p211-29 1994
Studied four-year olds' writing development over a school year by analyzing their output on a word-processing program. Found a combined increase in productivity, complexity, and accuracy. Results suggest that these increases may be attributable to the word processing program and not solely to novelty, maturation and incidental learning, or teacher effects. (HTH)
