Abstract

A computer writing lab and electronically submitted essays leading to a final, electronically submitted portfolio—a paperless class—would appear the perfect technology to teach the writing process and so model what teacher-researchers consider the most effective ways to teach writing. However, the results of my initial experiment with electronic portfolios-in-progress have caused me to reconsider how I used the system and what I would change should I again have the technology available to use electronic portfolios. For, as I read and responded, I found myself focusing on grammatical and other sentence-level issues, even with first drafts, rather than on global matters. I commented in boldface, took charge of student texts in ways I had not done in years, and effectively violated most of my beliefs about how to teach writing.
