Face-to-Face Talk To Support Computer-Mediated Discussion in a Primary School Literacy Practice.
Staarman, Judith Kleine
Reading: Literacy and Language, v37 n2 p73-80 Jul 2003
Describes how Dutch primary school children used a computer-mediated discussion forum to discuss the concept of horror stories. Presents an ongoing empirical study in which the contributions to an electronic discussion forum from children working individually were compared to contributions from children working in dyads. Indicates that children working in dyads around the computer wrote more contributions to the computer-mediated discussion. (SG)
