Good job on a concise and insightful article. The only suggestion that comes up is that this particular topic is somewhat passé as it seems that there are nowadays few people that would argue against or not allow the use of computer for paper writing. Maybe you could use this 1990s controversy and transpose it to how people still react in similar fashion to the introduction of new technologies. Current issues that are probably treated in the same manner is the classroom usage of Facebook, cell phones, etc... Apart from that, again, well-written and balanced piece. Cheers, Abheeru Hi Mr B.

Just by by taking away the need to rewrite you allow the students to focus on the quality of the writing. Editing and keeping track of changes is easy and encourages them to refine their work. I also like using peer reviews. I found that computers improved the quality of writing beyond my wildest dreams.
