Creating digital authors.

Important things that I have learned from the reading is that students sometimes only get to use the computer at home but that's only if their parents aren't using it , or their brothers and sisters aren't using it for  their homework. Often times the computes accessibility for students at school is also limited and even some times students don't even get to use them. I disagree with teachers who don't use computers often because students learn better with the computers is my personal opening. Another key I found important is the that digital text and tools changed the ways that we communicate with one an another."A direct implication of these changes is how children are taught to read and write for meaningful purposes." Teachers can actually navigate and compose the students through using digital text. Teachers don't have to be technology experts, but when students use technology it motivates them. "Adopting a new literates framework can help teachers and students expand their notion of literacy to include digital texts and tools." Technology has a positive affect on students and teachers technology has made writing so much easier. students have made the comment that some of them do not have nice hand writing but with the computers help it actually makes them more confident with their writing. Technology wasn't only for motivation but it was for students to cumbersome nature of hand writing even though some students had limited keyboard expertise. The most important thing that I learned that stuck out to me was that students that think they have bad hand writing like to use the computers to write because not only is it keep their handwriting nice but it also helps their writing skills. Another key point was that some students said that they have limited access to computers and not only at their homes but even school, some teachers lecture instead of using hands on by using the computers.
