This volume centers on the words and experiences of teachers and
students who used QUILL -- a software package developed by the
authors to aid in writing instruction. It looks in detail at the
stories of these early users and considers questions relevant for
other teachers, students, researchers, and developers of
educational innovations. Questions posed include:
* What does it mean to develop an environment for literacy in an
actual classroom?
* How can a teacher create an environment in which students work
together toward meaningful goals?
* How can a teacher promote the rich communication so necessary
for developing language?
* What is the role of technology in the practice and development
of literacy?
The examination of the QUILL experiences provides a fuller and
more revealing account of what it meant to use QUILL than would
have been possible through standard evaluation techniques. At the
same time, the focus on the particulars also finds analogues in
analyses of similar pieces of open-ended software or educational
innovations in general.
