Answer:
Quote: “…even in English class, on average, students are not writing a great deal.” P. 15.
Quote: “The amount of
extended writing seems particularly limited when viewed against how students
spend the rest of their time.” P. 15.
Quote: “…with the
exception of math, less than a third of the classrooms made use of any
technology. And…when technology was used, it was usually used by the teacher.”
P. 22.
Comment: I’m a little confused by these conclusions.
I don’t expect much writing or extended writing to take place in actual
classrooms, nor do I expect, necessarily, that technology would be used in the
classrooms per se. But to what degree are writing, extended writing, and
technology used as part of assignments outside of the classroom? To what extent
is classroom time spent on preparing for writing? RayS.
