    1. Betty Collum—a fifth-grade teacher

      Teachers like Betty make me happy. Instead of shunning tech, she embraces it and gets her students involved to better prepare them.

    2. Collaboration is still a key part of writing well—bouncing ideasoff of others and getting feedback across the writing process.

      This is something I think lecturers and TAs realise. Getting future writers to critique each others work is a good way forward.

    3. The networked computer has dramaticallychanged writing and writing processes

      I agree. I find that it's even sparked some discussion on how jobs are affected (editors might be less necessary thanks to processors like Grammarly, Google Docs, Word, etc.)
